Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8
Your issue is synergy. There are two main challenges with Wilsons.  1. they require very high quality amplification and upstream components including cables 2. they’re very sensitive to room acoustics and placement  when the speakers sound tippe...

Thank you all. I have options now. I think the Stressless is about where my budget is capped.

@unclewilbur impressive! Thanks for a detailed overview.

@corelli I agree. Mine currently does. It will be challenging to find something with good lumbar support and the right height.  Right angle is also key.

Great suggestions! Please keep em coming.  I’ll start visiting furniture stores to try some of the chairs.  @dekay LOL thx

Stressless looks nice! More than I wanted to spend though.    Going to try the Poang in ikea as well.

@lalitk cool. Thanks!   
Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables
To appreciate good sound I need to have a degree in electrical engineering? So if I tell you a USDA Prime ribeye steak tastes better to me than a USDA Choice roundeye, both cooked on the same grill by the same chef to the same medium rare internal... 
Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals
No. Had the 330a though. It was transparent but never harsh. I have a lot of doubts about the new moon north being colored and warm in any way. You don’t want this level of amplifier to color and warm things. Expect it to be refined and present a ...

@lalitk I have the 22awg Linkup. Is the 26awg better?
