| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 Creek is nice I had one, it blew up.. took MONTHS to get fixed because it's made in China and Creek UK (forget Music Hall) had to wait to get the parts needed from China to fix it.. That's only one data point but I sold it shortly after and replac... | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 More I think about it a used Plinius 9200 would be a great choice.. Lot's of power, very musical, non-fatiguing can easily drive a 4 ohm load, good phono section, built like a tank. I had one for almost 7 years and it was built proof never an issu... | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 I don't think there are any actual "dogs" I think there will be better sonic choices for the OP's speakers. If the choice will be solid state I'd stick to something that errors on the musical side rather than the more neutral, PSB's are a nice spe... | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 Rega Elicit, Plinius 9200 ( maybe a bit over your budget but worth it, imo) the Creek Destiny is very good unless it breaks, damhik, ARC Vsi55, Atoll is also a nice piece, but weak resale value I'm afraid. | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 The choice will depend on the speakers you have or are getting.. No point in recommending amps that aren't a good match for the speakers you'll use with them. | |
| Best subwoofer under $1,500 for Magnepan 3.6R Rel, the B2 can be had for your budget. | |
| Is my room big enough for the Harbeth HL5's? When you listened to the SHL5 at Fidelis did you do a direct comparison to the 7es3? I ask because as you say you fell in love with the SHL5, but what you need to keep in mind is that you fell in love with them at Fidelis, in their room, with thei... | |
| Is my room big enough for the Harbeth HL5's? I'd keep the 7es3 and look at upgrading the rest of your system, I've heard 7es3 with tubes and they sounded amazing. FWIW I recently owned, and sold a pair SHL5.. didn't really care for them, heresy I know but that's why we don't just have vanilla.. | |
| Best Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Sasha Ayon Triton ll , Plinius Hiato, Pass INT 150, ASR Emitter II Exclusive | |
| ARC tube amp recommendation for ProAc 1sc I've just setup a new-ish system of Proac D2 with a Ayon Spirit lll. Proac's and tubes are magic, they work with good SS but they come alive with tubes. | |
| need to down size to monitors Proac Studio 100 or D2 , Paradigm Signature S2, Usher BE718 | |
| DLIII - curent update status I also had a PSA DLlll had it modified by Cullen, replaced with a W4S Dac 1 which is a much better sounding unit. | |
| Leben CS600 or ARC VSi60 with Harbeth Compact 7's I just got an Ayon Spirit lll to use with Proac D2, I'd certainly add the Ayon to your list. | |
| Best DAC for Sonos Custodian.. I believe that Rick Cullen/ W4S can do a clock input mod on a Sonos http://www.wyred4sound.com/ | |
| Best DAC for Sonos My top pick at under (by a little) would be a W4S Dac1, sounds as good as the 2 but no volume control, and no high rate usb input, but if you're using it with a Sonos that won't matter. The new Rega Dac would also be a good choice. |
