Best integrated amp for Marten Miles 5
Finding a used Dartzeel 8550 is exactly what I would do. Extremely musical with loads of detail and no brightness to be found. Built to last forever. Just another opinion. Not cheap but you’d be set for years. 
Wilson Sasha 2 Pre owned?
Definitely get the crates negotiated in. I have Wilson Yvette’s and extremely pleased.  
Subwoofer failings and their use-related reasons
I have considered my B&W DB 1 sub to be indispensable for many moons used with several great speakers that shouldn’t need the boost but the need is dictated by the room. I have one unit between the two main speakers closer to the right channel... 
Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc.
Two things to add if not already mentioned. I too have an M1 and have never found it to be anything other than a wonderfully musical device and going direct to amp sounds great. It’s true that you might need to lower the output voltage which is no... 
what speakers to buy
Second the used Wilson concept. Also think very highly of Revel. 
Paradigm speakers
can't imagine preferring paradigm to revel. have had 206's , 208's and Salon 2's... all are up to the task of great partnering equipment. imho you just can't go wrong here if musicality is the goal. and they are seriously underpriced. 
Kharma speakers. Anyone has them ?
Had Kharma mini exquisites and they were superlative. However one ceramic mid bass driver shattered and my confidence was crushed as well. Customer service was excellent but I moved out of ceramic driver speakers. I do think that the brand is very... 
Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice
Hmm. Haven't followed the thread very closely but as to the OP's question I'd definitely consider the Wilson Yvette. I do own a pair and find them imminently satisfying. From the fit/finish to imminently musical sonics it's a long haul speaker wit... 
Best speakers for Pioneer SX-1250 receiver
Vintage JBL such as the classic L-100.  
Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers
You bought a great amp to go with appropriate speakers. Anybody that can't see a good match is just wrong. I've been addicted to this hobby for over 40 years and know a little about it. Unfortunately I've sold/traded very good gear over the years ... 
Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers
Anxious to hear how the new tweeter performs. You don't need new speakers and the new ML amp will be awesome. The speakers are certainly plenty good for such an amp. It sounds like I am a Revel promoter but I actually don't own a pair but rather w... 
Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers
Personally I wouldn't do anything until I spoke with Revel and replaced the tweeter. I've been at this many moons and believe that I can almost guarantee that if it failed as described you were the unfortunate recipient of a rare bad tweeter. Dont... 
Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers
Never had a problem with 206's or 208's. Call Revel support. They are generally very helpful. It would be a mistake to give up on such a fine loudspeaker. I can't imagine that the tweeter blew at anything other than uber clipping levels. Revels ar... 
Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo
Obviously art is in the eye of the beholder but I doubt that Agostino owners such as myself view the aesthetic design as anything other than a strong positive. Dan's just always has a strong sense of design from the inside out. As opposed to many ... 
Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps?
Used Dartzeel CTH 8550 deserves a VERY hard look. See review at positive feedback online mag and tone audio mag. . A superlative piece of gear.
