Proac D48R
@milpai ,The ProAc D-48r in ebony look great in your room. A huge upgrade from the Quad 21L.You should try an active preamp to see if that makes a difference for you. I am using an Aesthetix Calypso which is great in my system. I also replaced the... 
Bi Wire Cables vs Jumpers?
I would buy jumpers from Acoustic Zen.  
From KEF 103.2 to Harbeth 30.1 and back....Your advice sought.
If you were happy with KEF look at some new KEF speakers. I tried Harbeth and ended up going back to Proac. The Harbeth was not for me. 
Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96
The Leben CS 300X is a great match with the O96 speakers,

Strange sounds coming from my speakers.
Just get the Roksan recapped and serviced as other have suggested. 
What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25
@sacresta,You are welcome. Not sure what speakers you are using, but I heard the Sugden FBA 800 with the Wilson Benesch Vector speaker and it was a fantastic match. Also great with my ProAc Response D-40r 
What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25
I have heard Pass and Sugden. A friend of mine owns both and prefers the Sugden, unless more power is required. I think they both sound very good, with the Sugden having a bit more clarity and the Pass more bass drive.Looks like most comments here...
