Looking for a CD Player
I would go for the Rega Saturn MkIII, it has all the qualities a good CD player should possess: quality, sound and features… Oh and looks in my opinion.  
Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less **
I am using the LRS+ (on optional stands) with the Copland CSA70 and the result is absolutely fantastic!  
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
More than the treble issues of before, now completely fixed, to my absolute surprise it is the bass that is puzzling me, in a positive way. With the Copland CSA70 the LRS+ is beautifully balanced with a total engaging and satisfying bass output: t... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
Finally I have found the perfect partner for the LRS+: the Copland CSA70 integrated amplifier. Spec wise it kind of defies logic, comparing to what most people (and myself) thought that was needed to feed the little Maggies, but it is a revelation... 
Audiolab 9000cdt vs Audiolab 6000cdt vs Teac 505t
@tpcarter responding to your question about the 9000CDT and the Atoll DR200 Signature: I would definitely buy the Atoll without any hesitation. It is a superior machine, designed to the best performance well beyond the price, as all the Atoll prod... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
Currently, I have the feeling that I am in a middle of something with the LRS+… on one side there is the speaker positioning and on the other the amplification. In some degree, the evaluation of one is connected with the other. The Rogue RP-1 / N... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@delfincek thanks for the suggestions. I few weeks ago I have already contacted Hifi Collective UK and now have the full price of the Mills, including custom taxes. Meanwhile, I already have 1R, 1R5 and 2R2 Mundorf 10W resistors to try… the 1R5 i... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@toddalin, thanks a lot for the suggestions and detailed information. Perhaps I can buy the Mills resistors in the UK :)  
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@toddalin I thought that we must stick to 10W resistors! Anyway, I can’t find the Mills in Europe and I am not willing to pay $60+ on shipping and customs alone if I buy abroad. Here I have available the mentioned Mundorf, Duelund, Path Audio, Ohm... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@gbmcleod my LRS+ have about 250 hours on them. Regarding the treble high level, in my experience, like I have mentioned in the previous post, that kind of thing is more a characteristic of the design and not something that can be fix with break i... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@yyzsantabarbara those two amps must be great with the LRS+. In a natural and logic way I am trying to work with the 5 amps that I have available before any thoughts on anything else. The Coda and Sanders are not only very interesting but also exp... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@daveteauk , I have several components of different brands and I didn’t consider me a fanboy of any of them, or all the numerous brands that I had for the past 35 years of audiophileness… Just happen to like this particular Naim combo in some syst... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@yyzsantabarbara I have been struggling with the stock stands (very annoying little things) so I have decided to design and built my own stands. A layer os felt is between the speakers and the vertical plates and some felt round adhesive pads are... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@daveteauk thanks for your input. First about the Naim: I completely disagree. All components can be “bad sounding” if the synergy isn’t there in the first place, The Nac122x is a wonderful piece and must be used with the Flatcap 2x for the best ... 
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@waytoomuchstuff, thanks for the suggestions, but like I say in my previous post, I just want to work on the stock LRS+. I am confident that I can get good results with the right: - resistor - speaker cable and amp - in room positioning
