All in One amp up to $7k
I you liked the Naim Atom, you might want to consider the Naim Uniti Nova. I haven't heard either, but with the Nova, you would have the convince of the Atom with more power. I own the Hifi Rose RS520 and it is great as an all in one amp. It does...

  Hi everyone, I thought I would post an update.  I was finally able to audition the Adalante 3 speaker in Bangkok and the excitement was palpable. They certainly sounded good on first arrival. And even though they sounded great as I played some...

@twhitezzz I have never heard of Watkins. They look at little like a Totem Sig. One with a deeper cabinet. Thanks for the recommendation.

@bluorion  I will keep you posted. I am living in Myanmar and will audition in Bangkok, so a home audition is not possible. The price is slightly higher in BKK.

@nonoise  I had a feeling I would hear from you, I read your review of the Adalante 3 and I am happy you have found your "it" speaker. Ironically, I came across the link you shared here after I had already narrowed my search down to these 3 speak...

@o_holter  Thanks for sharing your experiences. I have owned tube amps in the past, and like many people, love the sound, hate the maintenance. It is why I moved from an LTA ZOTL 10 tube amp to the HiFi Rose. Next amp purchase might possibly be N...

@soix I find the Omega SAM speakers picking about amplification. Louis disagrees. I most enjoyed the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL 10 MK2 tube amp that I mainly used with those speakers (regret selling of course). I have also had good luck with vintage ...

@hilroy48  Thanks for the suggestion. I have just the normal domestic room treatments of drapes, plants and carpet. Eventually I will be  looking for some diffusors or absorption panels that are WAF friendly.  @grislybutter  Thanks for the reco... 
Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob!
