Amplification for Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE - strange results obtained so far
Agree with xti16.  Plinius amps would work well also.  If you could locate a 9200 or 9100, those integrated amps would certainly synergize well.  Also, consider Cardas, Acoustic Zen or PAD cables.  Good luck.  Best.....

Think he means Steve Gadd.  Drummer on Steely Dan's " Aja ". 
Silly prices for Nordost cables
@schubert .....so true! 
Journey ending speakers
Tannoy for me.  Currently have Definition DC8 and am saving for Turnberrys or Kensingtons.  Been through many speakers!  The Tannoys just engage me like none of the others.  Music flows from them first, and then the usual hifi adjectives follow se... 
Thiel Owners
Jim Thiel was one of the best, if not the best speaker designers!  In a way, under appreciated.  Yet as time goes by, he is justifiably getting his due more and more.  If he had lived longer, Vandersteen would still be in the rear view mirror.  My...

Tannoy Prestige made in China?
As an owner of Tannoy DC8, it is my understanding that all Tannoys from the Definition series on up are made in Scotland.  All others are made in China.  That being said, listen to a pair of Tannoys from either place and you might just be amazed. ...

Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Doubt it would be "settled", just another opinion.  Tend to agree with wlutke on this.  After Vandy 2ce Sig II and 1Ci, I've gone back to Tannoy.  Different strokes for different folks I guess.  Regards.... 
Time for Two Ways !
Back to Tannoy!  Best of the many speakers I've owned.  They just make music natural, relaxing and fun with all genres.  Not an easy task.  Currently DC8 and when I can in the future, Turnberry or Kensington.Great thread by the way. 
Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio
May as well start referring to him as Frederic March I suppose. 
Luxman Taking a Different Direction
@onhwy61 lol....well ditusa is a man of his principles.....a damn rare thing these days.  Too funny.  Anyways, I was always eyeing  Luxman, but it sure does seem to be "overpriced" and many other worthwhile alternatives exist.  Best..... 
Integrateds, which one??????????????
Please listen to John.  He has your best interest at hand!  I've not listened to him in the past....and it has cost me dearly.  Now, I've Vandersteen and Belles and am a believer.  Already trying to figure out how I'm going to move up the Vandy li...
