Class D = Trash?

best speakers what do you think
For the money... nothing is better than the Wavetouch Audio GT's monitors (now Anteros).  Virtually all reviewers agree - trading brand name speakers costing 10-20x as much for these great monitors.  They've got it all... and... a risk free trial....

Well... I must admit... the AQ CV-8 speaker cables are pretty impressive. Just received them and hooked them up to compare to my Anti-Cables 3.2 speaker cables. Premature first impressions: Great soundstage and imaging, very airy - maybe a bit bet...

OK... Ordered a pair of the AQ CV-8's, also. Will try and compare them to my Anti-Cables 3.1’s and let you know how they compare. We’ll see.And... I did discover you just replace the batteries, when they die.

Looking for suggestions on a used amp or new. $2000/ budget
Definitely the Parasound A31 or A21, first.  Got several A21's and the JC1's and JC2 - all are superb with almost any speaker.However... my close 2nd... and... maybe my first for the money... is the "ClassDAudio" SDS-470C at $700.  Regulated linea...
