| Help with high end bookshelf speakers If you are looking at true high end, look no further than the Sonus Faber Guarneri. They are the best sounding bookshelves I've ever heard. I shopped extensively when I bought my end game speakers. Sonus Faber should be at the top of everyone's li... | |
| A listening test of two power amps I have run the DAC gamut. I've had a Schiit Bifrost, RME ADI2, a host of Topping's, IFI K9 PRO, Denafrips ARES II, leading up to a Cary Audio DMS-550. My current DAC/Streamer is by far the best I've had. Eversolo DMP-A8. I have friends that have D... | |
| Sonas Faber OLYMPICA versions I bought a used pair of Sonus Faber Serafino speakers for $11,500. They are in perfect condition and sound fantastic. Highly recommend them. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I love my Dunlavy SC-V speakers. I have them as front speakers in my really large media room.

| Speakers with deep/powerful bass GoldenEar Triton Reference. Built in subs with 750w amps. They go down to 12 htz. 92db sensitivity. Great speaker. | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare My upstairs system is 16 channels and 2 subs with processor and separate amps. Outside audio also tied into processor. Huge jumble of wires. I solved my problem with a label maker. Tabbed each speaker cable and both ends if interconnects. Labels a... | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna As an owner of two Primaluna Dialogue Seven Monoblocks my take is if you want tube sound you can't do much better, especially for the money. I put extra into a Cary Audio SLP-05 preamp. System sounds fantastic. | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? Cary Audio SLP-05. End game preamp. Has HT bypass. |
