Amen @schubert .  Thank you for your service and sorry you had to experience such atrocities.   
What Matters and What is Nonsense
Psychology/Acoustics members...aka that forbidden word, especially to us OCD types,  “ Psychoacoustics “.  The OP couldn’t be more correct and more timely in presenting this....@ least for me as I’m again looking at separates.Another place I’ve fo...

I did also.  When music is your passion and the gear is a means to that end, you get perturbed with such greed and idiocy.  Parasites.  Fleas on parasites......

Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7
@audiotroy ....I think you’re wrong, so it’s a stalemate.  You just validated my point.  That is; you don’t have to spend mega bucks on an integrated amp like the ones you mentioned.  One can achieve a much better sound and synergy with Thiels usi... 
Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7

Proac Response D30 DS
IMO, your room is too small for D48.  Read this post dated 12-28-2011, ” Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend? “.  Zero in on username; “ erikminer “ and his responses.  I was contemplating Proac speakers at one time and Erik helped m... 
Best sounding compact integrated amp < $2k?
The Creek 50a is a sweet little integrated.  Great tone and a purity in its midrange that belies it’s price.Belles Aria ( now own ).  Superb dynamics and scale.  Very balanced.  The review was spot on; tube like with more grunt.  Thanks to JohnnyR...

@sense63 , totally agree.  I know anyone who buys one is an idiot imo....The whole capitalist/buyer beware thing and all that... However, the seller of such is a parasite imo.  One seller said, “ he’s proud to be an American.”...by selling an Oppo...
