sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion
Hi @daveyf,Interesting comments between you and mheinze. Would it be fair to say these two speakers very likely appeal to two different camps of listeners who probably have distinct sonic priorities? It may be just me but when I think of one brand... 
Magic returns in seldom used bookshelves?
Erik,Genuine words of wisdom. That approach and philosophy could alleviate so much angst and regret/anxiety. Maybe too simple for some to adhere to. Charles 
Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?
@tomer_tsin, I’m glad you were able to get some direct listening of the Spendor 9.2. I really believe that the Spendor Classic speakers will match quite well with your current system and your musical taste. Charles 
Straight out of the box doesn't work.
@knighttodd,  Good decision! If you have the inclination to do so,  would you post your listening impressions of the ARC REF 75SE and the Primaluna.Best wishes, Charles

@vinpic, Thank you for your reply, I now more clearly understand the passive Icon replacing the Vinnie Rossi active DHT Line stage. The analogy comparing the Bakoon13R and S.I.T.3 is very effective and clarifies their different sonic presentations...

@vinpic,Congratulations! I haven’t come across Nenuphar owners complaining about the bass reproduction but I’m sure yours is exactly as you describe with the Cube Audio subwoofer. You find the passive Icon preferable to the Vinnie Rossi DHT linest...

@knighttoad, The ARC REF 75SE  is a very nice amp. You’ll have an interesting comparison when you get your Primaluna EVO amplifier back.Charles

Hi @ prof,Ironically the owners of the Nenuphars and professional reviewers point out it’s the ’lack’ of a "Lowther" shout/signature that draws them to the speakers (Amongst other sonic characteristics). It seems that actual listening experiences ...

Yep, horses for courses indeed.  In the 6 Moons Nenuphar review I believe that Srajan Ebaen put the speakers further from the front wall for improved sound quality. Charles  
Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?
@tomer_tsin,You have received many well thought out responses.Given your musical taste (Large CD library of jazz, me to😊) High quality Luxman and Metronome components (Good taste)It screams for the Spendor Classic in my humble opinion. Is it at al...

@ debjit_g,Absolutely agree that the listening room space and its acoustic character is vitally important and influential. I don’t want to speak for David (He’s eminently capable of doing so himself) . His listening space isn’t small and he has tw...
