Verdant of course the amplifiers you import are magically quiet.We have sold  many major brand of tube amplifiers out there, from Mastersound, Unision Research, ARC,Vac, Conrad Johnson, Manley Labs, Cary audio, and others.We have sold Class A, Cla...

Not to mention there are a ton of great tube amplifiers as well.

No verdant all tube amplifiers have a much greater amount of audible noise vs solid state amplifiers.Even with the worlds best output transfomers you still have audibile noise. Listen to the best in solid state you will hear 0 noise through the sp...

Op there is no such thing as too much power on the contrary speakers blow from too little power and clipping.  If you are looking at making a change in your system you need to look at the entire playback chain and determine the weakest link! Spect... 
Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers
EJR the Naim Uniti Nova is hardly a thin and lifeless sound with the Sopras, the issue is that many Naim dealers use Naim cables which are really okay sounding, because the amplifiers are designed to be used with a cable with a known inductance, a... 
Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers
Have to agree with Emcdade, the new Sopras are fantastic and the new sound of Focal is way less metalic then the older versions.At Axpona the Sopras on a Naim Uniti Nova sounded very good, but that system was not amazing. The Golden Ear's at Axpon...

Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers
Erik, hard to believe that is what you heard, most Heil AMT drivers are distinctly less bright then metal dome tweeters, A Heil AMT is a folded piece of mylar and such the resonant frequency  and break up modes are way lower then a metal dome or r... 
Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers
Riverboat, both of these speakers are fantastic choices.The Triton References punch way above their weight and in terms of image size and placement and of course deep bass they are hard to beat. The Triton R are very musical and excel at dynamics....

Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal
Fleschler, an active speaker is always going to be easy to drive vs any conventional passive loudspeaker. The Vinberg sounded better than the Kyara at Axpona, and costs  less. it was hard to really gauge the Kyara at Axpona vs the Vimbergs because... 
Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal
Carey the Wilson and the Rockports are both excellent loudspeakers.The new DAW do seem to sound way better than previous versions, we have never been big WIlson Fans, the DAW at Axpona in one room with ARC was a fantastic setup, the room was very ... 
Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170?
The sound quality of the M150 is not superior to the Naim Nova, but in the same class with a different feature set.The Naim NAC 272/DR 250 sounds better, and the Naim NAC 282/DR 300 combo sounds even better.So unfortunately you still get what you ... 
Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170?
Caphill,  we would agree with you before, but the new Grande Utopia EVO III are far better than the older versions, and in our opinion far more magical and more musical than the the M6.We have a digital front end that we think is on par with yours... 
Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170?
Caphill,  we heard the Naim Statement amps and preamp at Axpona with the Focal Grande Utopia EVO III and the sound was freaking amazing.OP we just found this review on the Micromega: This review sums up the product perfectly: It wasn’t just th...
