Class D amps
I may be the only other "gal" lurking around here apart from Elizabeth and I'm pretty darn nice! LOL!Actually the question posed by the OP is of interest to me as I have the Wyred for Sound dec 2 and when my old Classe gives up the ghost, the Wyre... 
Amp for Vandersteens 2ce sig 2's
Classe is very fine with Vandersteens. I used to have them with my CAP 151, right now, they are hooked to a NAD 50 watter in the den with tv/movies and really, they sound quite good.Ayre is also very nice, my dealer uses this with Vandersteen a lot.

What started you on your audiophile journey .

One of my coworkers in trying to understand my love of music and audio proclaimed to all "Cathy is an AUTO FILE"! 
The Audiophile's Wife
That was fun - sharp writing and rings true! I bookmarked this one and look forward to the next addition. 
Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to
I do think clarity is the result of good upgrading. When we switched to power cords and dedicated lines I found a few lyrics that I hadn't caught before became intelligible. It shows more clearly that some changes to the system are truly worthwhil... 
Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to
There are the classic misunderstandings:1. "every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you" (Paul Young"2. "there's a bathroom on the right" (Creedence Clearwater Revival)3. "scuse me while I kiss this guy" (Jimi Hendrix) 
How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?
This summer when hearing k.d. lang sing Hallelujah live at Wolftrap. The crowd gave her a six minute standing ovation.
