| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and Jealous of that amp!I've heard Dyns are a great match for Hegel. And if you've never had dyns you should give 'em a day in court! | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. lolDon’t worry about us, gramps!!!We appreciate your music greatly, but also love our generation’s contributions.

| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? They're awesome. Very special sounding. Don't listen to the "measurement" guys. Wilsons are worth the entry price. | |
| Looking for a new integrated amp I've had lots of integrateds.My favorite is my Musical Fidelity M5si. It's perfect and has no issues driving my difficult dynaudio stand mounts.It really does it all..tremendous bass & warmth with excellent tonality and gorgeous midrange, yet ... | |
