| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Harbeth 30.2 XD Read TAS review. I have them, they are great imo. | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? WiiM Pro $149. Supports Amazon music which others don't. I've been using it to feed a Schiit Yggdrasil DAC for a couple of years. It's good. | |

| Will an Amp change improve my system ? @yyzsantabarbara If you are from Santa Barbara you might know or heard of my brother-in-law Judge Joe Lodge who passed recently after being the longest serving judge in California history. | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? My room is 12' X 24' and heavily carpeted. I run the Freya+ in tube mode. I forgot to mention I have a REL T/5X Sub. My cables are Audioquest, Kimber, and Cardas lower end. I had a Marantz model 8B amp and 7C preamp running Rogers LS3/5A speakers... | |
