| integrated amp for totem dreamcatcher monitors I'd recommend a used Bryston B-60. I've seen them on here lately for as low as $650, making them one of the best deals in used audio.

| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Grazie. | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow How absurd is it to produce a $3K integrated amp and then only have $25K speakers to match with it? I would think something more in line price-wise with the amp. | |
| Which Hi-end monitor for near field listening I love my regular Micro Utopias, they just disappear, are super transparent, and have surprisingly good bass. Best of all they're easy to drive, I'm using 18 watts with no problems. | |

| When audiophiles visit for a listening session Thanks for an amusing tongue in cheek thread. It's been a bit dull around here lately, thanks for the humor. Let's see some more fun stuff guys. | |
| Whither the Great Designers? Keith Herron is certainly making a strong case for himself. He has a ways to go, but he's off to a great start. | |
| good recordings of Bob Marley I have MFSL 180gm lp's of both Exodus and Catch A Fire and they both sound great, with the slight edge going to Exodus. I also have an original Island Records lp of Kaya which also sounds very good. Happy listening! | |
