Dan D'Agostino Black or Silver?
LOL I'm leaning towards silver.  I think the green meter looks a little better on silver for some reason than the black....      
Boulder 2160 vs Dan D'Agostino S250MxV
@arcticdeth Alexia V 4 ohm speaker and the S250 is rated at 500 watts at 4 ohm.  90 dB efficient.  Seems like that would give you some headroom.  I'm now leaning toward the Progression S350 as it gives me some budget for a Dan D'Agostino Progressi...

-nekoaudio I've heard people say D'Agostino have a more tube like sound, is this true?    
Devore O/96 vs Stenheim Alumine 2
@fsonicsmith so if I plan to move in the next few years should I just go with the O/96 now and as I understand it the bass would be a little strong or muddy?  or get O/93 now and then if I move sell them and get something appropriate for that room?  
Devore O/96 vs Stenheim Alumine 2
I assume Audio Note will be the closest to Devores?  
Devore O/96 vs Stenheim Alumine 2
Sorry I say mainly used for TV as it's our secondary TV room but for music it would be low volume Jazz, female vocalist and when I find a song I love but sounds terrible on the Wilsons because of the recording I would bring it into this room.

I've heard the Stenheims are easier to place.  Can you plug the ports on the Devores?  Wife likes the look of the Devores over the Stenheims.

Thank you eugene81!  
Dan D'Agostino S350 vs Luxman M-10X
Ok it seems like everyone is in agreement that McIntosh won't bring out the best of a Wilson speaker like this.   
McIntosh MC1.25KW vs Luxman M-10X
audphile1 I totally agree with you matching the pre with the amp.  But Mike Lavigne used Placette in his system which was way way way more expensive than my system.  Essentially I was hoping to keep the Placette for a year or so with the new amp b...

LOL you guys What about a Dan D'Agostino S350 Progression line?  
McIntosh MC1.25KW vs Luxman M-10X
I feel like a McIntosh is going to be more forgiving with bad recordings and with something like a Luxman it's going to really show you how bad the recording is!    
Amplifier for Wilson Audio Alexia V
What about the McIntosh MC1.25KW?  Or smaller MC611, MC462?
