| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Shoe,As a jazz lover the Mirage OMD-28's just make instruments sound more real. I'm not in love with using the descriptive term "musical" since it is so vague, but that's what these speakers are with my gear. They have a good bass foundation and a... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Timtim, I'll back you up. I had the McCormack DNA 500, the W4S ST 1000 (twice), and currently the Cary A306 Class D amp. The DNA 500 was the sweetest sounding solid state amp I've owned with the most outstanding upper end I heard with the speakers... | |
