Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp?
I can tell you there is incredible synergy with a Luxman MQ-88uC and the Triton One.R's; Far more enjoyable than with Luxman L509x and a Rogue Cronus Magnum III;The tweeters in the latest Tritons are super revealing and the triodes yields a match ...

Moving up the Harbeth line
@arafiq no subs yet; situation might change when in the larger room; The bass response in the current room is dependent on where listening; moving to the center ( about 8 feet from speaker face) is thinnest  due to room mode- and steadily builds t... 
New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!
@kenjit probably not actual wood- mdf ; easier to route and less variance run to run on CNC machines; Based on volume buys I bet raw BOM cost for these handsome cabinets is about 1k;  Add in the NRE of engineering design to get that BOM, COGs just...

Are there any speakers for nearfield listening that sound GREAT at low volumes?

Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now?
@antigrunge2  "Properly implemented digital is far beyond vinyl"While I have not gone down the vinyl path yet (no plans too either), I know what you mean about properly implemented. Often we focus on a particular DAC IC, or topology: R2R, Delta Si...

@james633 I did not use any high pass filtering just ran them full range; set the subs for around 65 hz or so; sometime ago I setup a modest 5.1 with a Marantz 7012, Focal Aria 906 mains, matching center and the JL sub using LFE; 80hz seems to be ...

awesome feedback; Thanks 🙏 so much!The Nova and pre-Nova are gorgeous speakers;  for a spell I had Harbeth 40.2 coupled with a Plinius Sa103 and Hegel H590; I tried for some time to get the balance right but they sounded a bit dry and flat to me; ...

KEF Wireless II full stop

Looking for my Final Pair!!
@dave_b that's great! What amp are you using? I tried Forte III's and heard some of that magic you are talking about; Very energetic speakers, like a "live wire" kind of sound.
