| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) @andrei_nz , uh, I literally said that my speakers are Cabasse Riga on the first line of my post. Understandable though, when I went to the dealers and I mentioned about my speakers most did just go "ummm, what are those?" until I explained that i... | |

| Best speakers for a small room I had the Triangle Comete 40th for a few months. I loved it to bits and I think it's arguably the best bookshelf speakers for $2-2.5K you can buy now and even better than most in $3-4K range. I upgraded to Cabasse Riga. It's 3 three times the pr... | |
| new kef ls60s just arrived I had listened to both LS60 and the Pearl. Both of them are priced the same and very capable performers. LS60 is more refined and sounds very smooth. A bit too smooth I think because instruments sounded kind of artificial, probably because of ove... | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. A bit late to the party, but the best mid-range I've heard from a pair of bookshelves is from Q Acoustic Model 300. Extremely silky and smooth. It's just too bad the speakers are lacking in other aspects like dynamics. The rolled-off highs and bas... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) I try to keep an open mind. Thankfully my speakers are light enough to carry around easily. I will probably audition Luxman 509X and see whether it would be good for me. I’ve heard the Teac stack I mentioned above yesterday and I was really surpr... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) The Coda CSIB and the Krell K300i are available to demo in my city and I would try them out. Soulnote A2 and Yamaha AS3200 come highly recommended among my circle as well. I will be trying a TEAC UD-701 and AP0-701 stack soon with my speakers.... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) Those who I have spoken to echoed the few comments earlier that I would probably see marginal improvement upgrading my amp since my Sony amp is considered as a superb amp almost comparable to the higher end Japanese brands. So I might decide to ... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I have Spotify Premium and Tidal Hifi with Roon. Qobuz is not available in my country. My DAC is Musician Pegasus. Spotify Premium sounds more compressed and slightly grainy when the music gets loud and busy. Tidal Hifi with Roon sounds more s... | |
| Best speakers for a small room For actives, either LS60 or a pair of Cabasse pearl. I've heard both in tiny listening rooms (tinier than your dimensions) and they sound surprisingly good for near-field less than 2 meters, especially LS60. LS60 is more refined, colored and laid... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) Great suggestions from all of you. I am located in Singapore btw. A dealer suggested to me I could actually get the entry level Accuphase Power Amp A-36 for $6500 USD and use the difference to upgrade my DAC to a DAC with a preamp like TEAC UD-70... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) The only available brand new Luxman Class A left available to buy is a 595ASE and I don't think I want to pay the mark up for that. And I don't like the all buttons look anyway. I guess $8600 USD Esoteric F-03A seems like the best value; I checked... | |
| Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp) I guess I just want to buy more stuff or scratch that itch of wanting the best gear? Anyway, I like my sound to be as realistic and pure as possible but still having a lot of liveliness and excitement. I listen to a lot of modern female vocals an... |
