| X250.5 compared to Naim Nait5i I believe that the Dali speakers are the limiting link in your system right now.By the way your hearing is in good shape, Stereophile measured a 5 db peak in the treble, which sounds exactly as you described, bright and shrill. Two speaker drivers... | |

| Wadia 830 basic vs Theta Miles balanced I have heard both and the Wadia sounds way better than Theta Miles. Besides, the Theta uses a discontinued Pioneer stable platter transport, parts are hard to find. | |
