Kharma Ceramique CE-1.0
I use the Lamm ML-1 mono blocks with my Kharma's. They are fantastic. I realize they may not be of "reasonable" price, depending on ones definition of reasonable. I also have a Pathos Twin Towers R/R with a $250.00 capacitor mod that is VERY nearl... 
Experiences with 47 Laboratory products?
I have the flat fish w/ progression dac and the 47 labs phonocube. My system is Lamm ML-1's w Lamm L-1 pre with Kharma ceramic 2 speakers. The 47 labs gear is the best I've had in my system by a good margin (the transport dac combo is the way to g... 
Best Digital Front End Period!
47 labs flat fish w/progression dac. The best I've owned/heard. 
Anybody heard the Resolution CD55?
I owned the cd50 and now own the cd55 and they are both great players. The 55 is a little better in most respects. 
LAMM matching
I have the ML-1's with the L-1 and am currently using the Kharma c-2's to very good effect. I am also looking forward to trying the shun mook bella voce references in the system to see if or how much of an improvement they offer over the Kharma's. 
Need help on one box CD player.
I've owned both the Meridian and the Electrocompaniet. They are both excellent. The EMC-1 by a nose based on my taste. I now have the 47 Labs Flat Fish w/ progression dac and it is the best I have heard. 
pathos twin towers integrated amp
I own the twin towers as well as Lamm ML-1 mono's. They are both fantastic. Scott Franklin of Wavestream fame did a capacitor mod on the Pathos and it is very nearly the equal of the 4X $ Lamm's. I know of no amp in it's price range that compares. 
Merlin VSM SE Speakers - Opinions
I was very happy with the bass response with the Merlins and any of the quality low powered tube amps I paired them with...the modified Pathos being the best. My personal taste is for the quality of the bass as opposed to the quantity. With batter... 
Merlin VSM SE Speakers - Opinions
I owned the VSM SE's w/battery bam for a year and loved them. They are the most neutral and coherent two way I have heard. They are hard to beat in a medium to small room. Be sure to get the battery Bam and the latest version with all the latest u... 
Any experience with LAMM?
I have experience with the ML-1 monoblocks and they are not at all as you describe. They are very neutral and fast with great overall balance. The midrange is among the best. A very fine product, as all the glowing reviews would indicate. 
Comments on the Sonus Faber Grand Piano
I second the opinion on ordering from Paolo. I recently got a pair of Amator 1's from him and the dealings were exceptional.
