| Can't decide Dynaudio Contour is a good match with Parasound because the latter tames some of that treble energy. But to me the MA’s have the better sounding tweeter and also pair well with Parasound. | |

| Looking for a new power amp - choosing between T + A, Atoll, Rogue Your Audible Illusions preamp is stellar and definitely worthy of your speakers. I would go for the Stereo 100 Dark over the DragoN. I really like Rogue’s full tube products but never been impressed by their hybrids. Personally, I would probabl... | |
| Wool Felt Footers? I have been using 1” diameter felt furniture slides/protectors between my speakers and Sound Anchor stands for the last few years. I prefer them to the Sorbothane dots that came with the stands. I have tried several other materials but the cheap f... | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables Trying some Duelund DCA cable might change your mind on the merits of solid core. There is good reason many use it as internal speaker wire. Run the stuff bare and it will complete with far costlier alternatives. I am convinced there is something ... | |

The standouts are Yamaha’s MOSFET powered series (A-S2100 or 2200), the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 2, and the Axxess Forté1 (within your budget used). Most others were good to mediocre but did ... | |
| Integrated amp under $5k The Axxess Forté series of integrateds are the best implementation of Class D I have encountered, both integrateds and separates. I suspect that’s because their distortion profile is 2nd order dominant, with all higher orders being inaudible. They... | |
| Integrated all in one for a second system The Axxess Forté 1 or Forté 2 are excellent choices for this. The DAC in these units easily competes with <$2K stand-alone DACs. | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? And no do not get a REL. They work but they're grossly priced for the performance you get That’s the complete opposite of my experience. | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? Might be able to pick up a used S/510 within your budget. You’d be hard pressed to find a better sub at that size and price. | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? 802 D1s need thoughtful placement to perform best. They are not bright and fatiguing in a non-reflective room with the right width and toe angle (zero or near zero). Placed in a small room with straight, on-axis toe and they can certainly sound ... |
