| Coincident speakers Own the Triumph UHS TRS monitors and keep trying to find something much better and have so far failed. They are fast, open, detailed and with my Sugden A21SE integrated the volume doesn't get much above 8 o'clock. I've also run them with VTL Tiny ... | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? Luxman is so oft overlooked. Sweet sound. I've owned several pieces and loved them all. | |
| Integrated Amp for my Audio Physic 2 speakers Love Audio Physic speakers. They image well, are fast and do vocals so well. There is a Sugden A21aL integrated on the 'gon for $1550.

| Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out? All good suggestions. Cannot believe Signal Cables not mentioned. | |
| what speakers are a good match for luxman lv-105 Focal, Spendor. When pushed, this amp tends to be a bit bright from its SS amplification. If you've not changed out the tube, an upgrade will really open up things and give less edge in the midrange. A better tube will also tighten up and deepen t... | |
| Vibraphone recommendations? Stefon Harris and Blackout is progressive jazz vibes. Cal Tjader Brazilian. | |
| Need help upgrading The Rotel processor is probably at the core of all this. If you want to maintain the integrity of the home theater and improve the music reproduction I would consider Signal Cable throughout replacing the MIT. If it still doesn't get you there....... | |
