| Threshold Stasis S/150 @totem395 I dont have the specifications for the 2ci since the Vandersteen does not have it available on the website. I am awaiting response. | |

Steely Dan-Hey Nineteen is a great recording if your finding overall balance sound but I find it to be bass shy. On the contrast, Dire Straits-Money For Nothi... | |
| Topping A90 @soix I am using a Tascam headphones I believe is the TH-200x something like that. | |
| Topping A90 @soix Thanks for the response. That is a good review on both models. The A90 that I am planning on getting is a used but in very mint condition unit. According to the seller, the unit has about 100 hours of playing time just enough of break in tim... | |

I currently have the 2ci powered by a B&K ST2140 bi wired in a pretty small room with the right tilt make it magic. Their are who men... | |
