Hegel H160 and Focal Electra 1008Be sounding bass-less
I owned the H160 paired with Dali Fazon F5 speakers. It sounded lifeless so I sold it. There wasn't much bass  at all with it. I hooked the same speakers up to a NAD M10 and it sounded better. The bass improved quite a bit which was surprising... 
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?

High Eng Audio Auctions on Ebay does not honor their deals
I have sold hundreds of items on Ebay. Occasionally, I price the shipping too low. In every instance I eat the loss since it's my fault. What the seller did to you is not a good way to do business. 
Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity
I sold off all of my separates and I'm looking for active speakers to replace them. I'm finding out there isn't much to choose from. 
How do I pay?
