Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Agear- let's be fair and highlight that the Alef gear starts at 60k an amp.I think folks have to try amps in their system to judge them appropriately on the 4s. I've personally tried the Audions, Sophias, McIntoshes, Quads, FirstWatt, Vacs, etc. I... 
Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?
one more thing- I chose Definitions over Magico V3s. Both are very good speakers.

I went to Zus from C1s. And Definition4s to be exact.Ultimately I wanted a more efficient speaker that was more dynamic and real, but without a harsh/metal tweeter top end.

Charles1dad- that's my opinion as well. and why I've personally tried like 13 amps in my system.

I don't have speaker footers, but just received a set of Wave Kinetics...to go under the amps. 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I really prefer the 40 watts I have now on my Quads than any other smaller watt amps I have tried. YMMV (strongly, due to room size etc)Also, fwiw, Quad II Classics at 15w sounded demonstrably stronger than 25 watt 845s.

Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I will be honest--if it took $$$$ of K/S cables to make the ASR sound really exceptional, I have some issues with the entire premise. I will be more than happy to try an ASR if someone can arrange a SoCal dealer drop one off in my home for a week ... 
Sophia 1 with McIntosh/Lamm tubes? Please advise
BAT works super good with Sophia 1 imo. 75SEs are cheap (relatively) 
Disappointing Albums of 2012
Florence & the Machine, Unplugged. Nice hall reverb on the entire set kills her voice. Awful. Terrible production (and Ludwig mastered it, so it must have been terrible to begin with) 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Agear- I'm pretty much settled on tube right now. I've had Mcintosh and FirstWatt, so well aware of the best of SS type designs w/ Zu, which I'm sure ASR is in the same league as.My room is a bit of a bear and eats bass, so that has led me to P/P ... 
Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps
Charles1Dad-I liked the SIT-2 very much, although wondered if it was a bit dynamically limited- above 92dbs or so I could hear it distorting in my room. It doesn't have tube decay, so is still a different sound than tube- but it has a very similar...

I agree that rock has been pretty much crap this year.
