Anything close to Hegel H360 but smaller/lighter?
Jeff Rowland Model 125 and a Schiit pre amp.    
Room correction room system vs ears….
Mini DSP Studio SHD is one idea.  
Wireworld Electra 7
@jafant  I have not had my system in operation since late July when my pre amp needed service, I just got it back but I am in Florida for a while. Will be bringing it back home with me for the Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday season. I will get t... 
Focal Sopra 2 or Sopra 3?
@ozzy My Tritons are out almost 7 feet, (6.87’) Which is about 1/3 into the room. I too like a deep and wide 3D soundstage. That’s what my amp excels at, holographic sound. But I still get outstanding bass. I used some free calculators I found on... 
Focal Sopra 2 or Sopra 3?
It's kinda disheartening to hear that a set of subs is required with them. (Sopra 2) A pair of REL 812's would be $6K.  My Triton 1.r's really don't need them at all. They are actually really good speakers especially with my particular amp. Sandy ... 
VAC preamps - too expensive?
I had the chance to meet Kevin Hayes today when I visited their shop in Sarasota. I also spoke with  his tech Brent who built my amp and serviced my pre amp, quite nice fellows. Very personable to me. We talked about tubes, my gear and the fact th... 
VAC preamps - too expensive?
I have owned my VAC Cla 1 MK II for 20 years. Back then I believed to get to the end game faster, so I did. I pick it up this week after getting it upgraded to Mk III status so I am now set for the rest of my lifetime for a pre amp. I also have th... 
Focal Sopra No 3 vs Goldenear Triton One.R
FWIW I have been driving my GE Trition R 1.r's with a VAC Renaissance 70/70 amp and they sing with it. They are everything my old Genesis Model V's were and more.  
Any experience with Mini DSP SHD Studio in 2 ch system?
The Mini and the Studio SHD are two different animals, the Studio is all digital and out puts the signal  in digital, not analogue.  
Hurricane and Valve Amplification Co?
They checked in Friday night and said they made it through just fine, but are closed for now due to no power or phones. Good for them!  
surrender n200 vs n20
N200 has coaxial as well.  
Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please.
Actually it’s better to start switching the interconnect from the source and head down stream until it changes channels. Just because you switched at the pre amp doesn’t preclude the problem isn’t before it. I realize you found it's the amp but th... 
GoldenEar Triton Reference for a large room...
When I auditioned my T1r’s they were hooked up to a Prima Luna Integrated with CD’s and there was no fatigue in the 2 hours I was there and they surprised me for how good they were. I bought them. I use a VAC Renaissance 70/70 tube amp to drive th... 
Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable?
FWIW> I too had 20 year old WW Gold Eclipse III full loom interconnect and speaker cables. Got new speakers that were not bi wire able and also needed longer lengths started me off looking for replacements. I ended up with Silversmith Fidelium ... 
GoldenEar Triton Reference for a large room...
I think the T Ref's will work well. I have the T 1.r's in a dedicated listening room. However it's not as large of space as yours. With the adjustable bass driver you can fine tune the bass manually on the back of the speaker. Also they are really...
