Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?
Perrew,That sounds like a sweet setup. I have not heard a Spectron vs a NuForce direct comparison. A good friend of mine with good ears has auditioned some Spectron products but came away unimpressed FWIW. If you contact NuForce they offer a free ... 
Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?
I like tube equipment. In fact I have a BAT VK 31SE drivingthe NuForce amps. You will not find a tube amp that can control the base and give you the power of the 9 SE V2 for anywhere near 5K. The inner detail and soundstage are excellent without a... 
Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?
Perrew,Have you auditioned a Spectron vs. a NuForce? Of the amps I tried vs NuForce I believe you would be hard pressed to find an amp better for under 10k. Just my humble opinion and ears! 
Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?
Have you considered a pair of NuForce 9SE V2? They are in your price range and could easily drive your speakers. Power cord upgrade is a must and still would be around 6K. 
Next up... new speakers...
Todster, I too had a pair of N805 with a Velodyne HGS-12 with a room dimensions just a bit smaller than you. I have always liked the B&W sound. I have recently rebuilt the entire system around a pair of Coincident Elcipse lll with upgraded wir... 
Class D and High Efficiency Speakers?
I am running a pair of NuForce 9 SE V2 to drive my Coincident Eclipse 111. The speakers have an efficiency of 94 db. The sound is spectacular. I chose the NuForce amps for the quality price ratio. I would suggest taking up NuForce on their offer o... 
Lumen White?
I have a friend that has a pair of White Flames. A fabulous speaker! Best to be driven by tubes I am told. 
Lead Weight on a Nuforce 9sev2
Stltrains,Are you using anything under the amps for isolation?

Yoby,Why did you use one Little Rock instead of two? Is there a sonic benefit using only one? 
Any feedback on a MSB Power DAC?
Is the ilink the interface that MSB will install in a player for a direct connection into the DAC? 
Best rock song of all times
Stairway to Heaven 
Refurbish or Buy New Turntable
Thanks for the great imput. I failed to indicate that my BAT pre-amp does have a phono stage but will not quite give me enough gain to play the system at acceptable volume levels. Does this change any opinions?Any suggestions on cartridges? Amps a... 
Nuforce 9V2SE with Dodd tube pre?
I am also not familiar with the Dodd product. I am running the Nuforce 9SEV2 with a Bat VK 31SE driving a pair of Coincident Eclipse III. The combination is stunning. 
Anyone have heard of Tangent RS-8 speakers
Yes I did audition them many years ago. I worked at a store that carried the RS-2 and sold a few pairs of TM-3's.We did not carry the RS-8 but did get a good listen at a store in Watertown Mass. The one thing all their speakers did was give a grea... 
Upgrade path from a B&W N805.
Bundy, I'm not sure I have enough power to drive a pair of Theile's. I have heard they like a lot of power. What are you driving them with.
