Canton Reference 9.2 with Arcam A85 underpowered?
I have had several Canton's in my home (I still have a full Vento system and had the Ref 3.2's for a while as well) Canton makes an amazing speaker, but they will do better with more power. I for one wouldn't be cranking them up with an 85 Watt Ar... 
Hansen King V2 / TAD M1 / YG Studio Reference .
While I've never owned any of the three, I have heard all of them at several shows with different setups, and can pass along my opinions FWIW.I for one do not like the TAD speakers, they are too forward and a touch bright to my ears, and frankly n...

My $99.00 System
Tiger Woods had an exceptional pre-nup. If you recall Elin (sp?) went and hired THE most expensive divorce attorney and a week or so later said they would stay together even if just as friends.....Tough to walk away from a billion dollar industry!...

Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?

Anyone have much experience with ESOTERIC DV50s
I had the DV-50s since they came out, the only reason I sold it was to upgrade to EMM Labs separates, otherwise it would still be around. Great player and built like a tank!

Bluetooth is more common so you could run these from any laptop, iPod touch or iPhone too... 
Canton Reference Any opininion?
I like Canton's speakers. I had the Ref 3.2 DC's and still have a full 5.1 Vento system. They have a lush warm sound to them with solid bottom end, you even get surprising bass from the small models and the finish on the References is exceptional. 
Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?
I have not had the chance to spend any time with the Playback Designs DAC, but I strongly prefer my EMM Labs DAC2 to the dCS gear.
