| Vinnie Rossi LIO Or Pass Labs 250.5 & XP10 What did you decide bg1968? I've read what you experienced - LIO + Harbeth = Amazing. I'm about to pull the trigger on the LIO with DHT and DAC2.0 to drive my KEF LS50's. It's my office system and should be a tremendous improvement over my current... | |

My office system currently includes KEF LS50's, Rega Brio Amp, and Parasound Zdac. Setup sounds good but not great, thus the itch to start with amplification/dac upgrade... | |
| Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed! gdnrbob - Not the first time I've heard that recommendation.

| Amp / Preamp for Focal 1007 BE Speakers? Hey guys - thank you for your responses. My room is about 240 square feet, so the 1007's should work perfectly. I actually ran an experiment with my old Harmon Kardon AVR receiver since it has a bass & treble knob. Although the overall sound w... |
