| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations @dxbwineguy The three main French speaker brands - Triangle, Cabasse, and Focal. There are also Elipson and Waterfall. The replica Ongaku looks sick. I am looking to upgrade to a really nice SET amp for my main setup and that definitely piqu... | |
| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations @dxbwineguy I agree the Cobra is better than a lot of SET amps. It is a very good value proposition. I don't think there is any other DAC+Integrated combo at that price point that even remotely equals it. But as a pure integrated, a couple of no... | |
| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations The new WE91E can drive more difficult speakers and reasonably powerful at 20W. So if budget is no issue, go get it. The majority of other SET amps are more modest in power. Your choice of stand-mounters will be limited if you insist on SET amps.... | |
| Finding Power Amp for Cabasse Murano I have tried a few solid state options with my Cabasse setups, but in the end I went tubes to make those mid really sing. A Line Magnetic LM-6061A should give you sufficient power to drive these speakers. If you really want SS, I think I would ... | |
| Looking to downsize and for suggestions for amp(s) You had a lot of good suggestions, especially the AGD and SPL. Similar price to your Pass you could get Aavik P-280 which is a great performer. | |

| Tube amps under $7500 @mdalton I would use the word 'vivid' to describe my Lab12 and also Jadis. They give a bold first row live music experience type that demands your listening attention. I agree that more niche brands tend to give incredible value of money. I still ... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @mdalton OP wanted romantic sound. As much as I adore my Lab12 Integre 4 MKII (and by extension Suara) they are definitely not romantic and tubey. | |
| Tube amps under $7500 You want romantic, bloomy tubey sound? Audio Note, Leben, and Triode have those characteristics. At your price range, Audio Note Cobra, Leben CS600X, and Triode Evolution KT88. But all these are not silver and do not have balanced input. Ther... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? If you can't hear the differences, it's either 1. You lack the critical ear to discern subtle differences 2. Your setup is not resolving enough 3. Your new cord is very similar to your previous If you think it's 1, count your blessing and jus... | |
| Tokyo for SET Lovers Takatsuki 300b tubes are way cheaper in Japan, so I would get that if I was you. I would also get one of those fancy Hijiri power cords. | |
| Lab12 Integre 4 MKII - user review @rolrol I can't remember if the Line Magnetic model I listened was 805i, but I did listen to one model in the same price range of the Lab12. If I recall, the Line Magnetic driving a pair of ATC bookshelves had similar sound profile to the Lab12 se... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp I second the Benchmark AHB2 recommendation. Clean, neutral, and balanced sound. Before my current Audio Note Cobra, I used Perreaux 100p which was a really competent performer for its price. Other good power amplifier I've heard in this range ... | |
| Small amp or all in 1 choice? You could actually connect 4 speakers to a stereo amplifier in the same way we connect a sub with high level input to amp without pre or sub out. Two speakers connected by banana plugs and two speakers connected by spades/bare wire. | |
| Cables for BW 805D4, JC5, Prima Luna 400 I use Ricable Invictus Reference power cord, speaker cable and RCA cables. They synergize very well with my setup as they are neutral and liquid sounding. I tried Lab12’s cables (Signal Project really), Furutech, and Supra Sword, but they added to... |
