Ayre 
Adcom gfa 555 or 5400
I had a 535, a 545, and a 555. I thougt the 535 sounded best.  Im not so sure though that Adcoms are going to pair well with your monitor audios though.  The sound may go to lean and bright...I fried my 535 by accidentally touching the positive an... 
Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!!
@decooney , good to hear that you still have them and still like them! I almost sold mine just to get an 8 foot pair instead of 6 feet. I’ve also considered trying the big silver ovals but haven’t done so yet.I did get some solo crystal xlr cables...

Ascend Sierra 1 vs Triangle Borea BR08
True, but the drivers in the bro’s still look nice.  No cast baskets...stamped rather, but nice sized magnets and good venting.  The cabs are decently braced too. The Bros are going to be more dynamic in my guess.I am curious to see what you prefe... 
Can I have my cake and eat it too or not?
Man, you lost me on about line 5... all I know is eating cake will make you fat, and happy 
H390 or seperate amp and dac?

H390 or seperate amp and dac?

Merry Christmas Jeff Vegas!Man, I am on a roll.  3 in 3 days! 
Ascend Sierra 1 vs Triangle Borea BR08
