Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
OP,  I have a pair of Acousat Model X’s, that are tube powered and by their design can get loud as heck, but will never give you chest thumping bass.  Acoustics, placement and the room are very very important.  An example, A couple of houses ago ...

What to do? I want a new amplifier to make my Dynaudio Contours to "sing"
the Rotel A14,@ $1499.95 is one to look at. Good hunting. JD    
Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps?
mapman +1, although was going to say Audio Research SP-3 through 16. I have had great results with all of them.  While I wish I still had the SP-3a, I still and use a SP-9 MKll. All the best. JD

Thanks for all your replies. My newest ic's are Audioquest Colorado's, about 8-9 years so hearing about other cable companies and newer cables should help me decide one which one to get. A brand that I found today is Clarus. They have two lines o... 
So I just bought a Hegel H390 and
yy,  I was starting to think that I might have made a mistake with this pairing, but not any more! The H390 is a bit warmer than the H360 and maybe the Blades weren't broken in.  But either way, the system really has changed for the better in abo... 
So I just bought a Hegel H390 and
100 hour update on the KEF Reference 5's. The high end hasn't changed much and that's a good thing. The upper midrange has settled down and that's a very good thing. The bass has improved the most, Tight and clean. No need for a subwoofer here.... 
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
So I needed to get internet to my Hegel H390, that doesn't have wifi, hardwire only and this is what I got.  NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender EX5000 - Coverage up to 1500 Sq.Ft. and 25 Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083R46CV8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt... 
Best light weight full range speaker recommendation.
OP, Maybe I missed it, but what amplifier are you using? While at 133 pounds each I wouldn’t them call light, I have KEF Reference 5’s  they have more than enough bass for me and they fit right into your price point. All the best. JD      
Different R2R DACs
audio-satisficer,  I might have missed it, but did you give a budget for how much you want to spend on a new DAC?  I'm still using the original Schiit Bifrost multibit and I'm thinking about getting the Pontus, but I'm not in a great hurry. I ju...
