Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3
Hi, @fredag ! Sounds like you're from Sweden like me. I might miss the HEM audio show in Stockholm next week but if you live nearby and can go that might be a good time to listen to some different speakers and hear what the dealers recommend.  I... 
New Fischer & Fischer Audio 670 Speakers : Made Out Of SLATE..
Besides Acora in granite there are also speakers made of concrete like Rauna. https://www.rauna.com/ Wilson, Magico, Rockport and others also has pretty stiff boxes made of different materials.   
Birthday DAC
It may limit the selection if it has to be small and tube based. I guess the form factor is more important and will just give some ideas of smaller dac's. M2Tech Young MkIV Chird Hugo 2 or Qutest Hugo TT2 IFi Pro DSD Nuprime AMG  
Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience?
I was thinking that they are becoming more and more popular. I was close to buying Fyne but they jacked up the price just before I decided.  In general I assume that coaxial elements are more expensive for a given quality. That may explain why no... 
Best sounding low power (under 80watts) Class AB amp?
If Integrated are ok you also have the Schiit Ragnarok and Moonriver Audio.  
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
This is one of the best sounding YT videos I've found so far. Try it on you big rigs or with good headphones.     
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
@rbertalotto  Its not about bit rate… its about the recording microphone being used and the playback equipment on the other end. No way on Gods green earth can anyone accertain anything from these videos. It seems you are moving the goal post.... 
Klipsch La Scala replacement?
Fyne are at least somewhat easy to drive and they now have a vintage series also, you may like their looks.  
Preamp with two volume controls?
Maybe a Lokius could help? Or the Loki Max. https://www.schiit.com/products/lokius  
Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market
I really like my Canton Reference 9k stand mounts. Fantastic finish in walnut and a great sound. Also available in black or white if that matches your room better. More bass than most small speakers and voices are wonderful.  https://youtu.be/g3T... 
Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues
B&W used to be a bit hard to drive. Maybe the new ones aren't. I listened to Fyne speakers at a store and liked them. They are pretty easy to drive and has good bass for their size. F500 or F500SP may be an option for you to try. Best bass fr... 
Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS
If I was looking for an amp in that price I would look at Schiit Tyr and try to find a nice pre amp. The Gato is probably great too, a bit uncommon and I have not heard it. I have heard another Schiit amp. Or the Moonriver Audio.   
Amps for KEF Blade 2
Looks like someone demoed Kef Blade 2's with the new Hegel A30 in Munich. I was not there but read the the H30A is really good, better than the H590 and should be able to drive anything. The cost of course doubles if you're gonna use it in a mono ... 
Open Baffle Experience
These Lindström Audio open baffles were really good. The price were around $10k in Sweden and it was one of the best speakers I heard that day (a small local Audio ahow).   Lindström Audio ISO 85 speakers, Viva amp and Revox tape deck. https://... 
Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...?
I have the small Canton Ref 1k and is very happy. Voices sounds really good and the bass that exists is clear with great timbre. If the big brother sounds similar it is a great choice. I've also been impressed when I've heard Marten and Qln at sho...
