1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma

What's driving your 805's
Meridian 557 Amp. This is a great amp. The Adcom 5802, Conrad Johnson 2500A and Spectron Amp are great to. I'm also using a ACI Sub on the Nautilus 805s.

NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??

"tube" cd players?

WADIA 270/27ix vs. CAPITOLE
I have the Wadia 860 and i know someone that has the Audio Aero Tube CD Player. They sound totally different. The Wadia is more of a dynamic type sound. Where the Audio Aero is a warm romantic sound.
