| Speakers for VAC sigma 160i -- need inputs I take it back. They're probably all good speakers. I have heard the coincidents and thought very highly of them. Just audition the Coincidents before you purchase. I think they would be a great match with the 160i. | |

| Recommendations for good Class A SS Amp 100-200W It was more likely your friends room, rather than the class of the amp used. | |
| In a quandry wrapped in an enigma Zu Audio is having a closeout sale and pair it with a small tube integrated. Your choice on the other stuff ie. digital or analog, but that will give you nice sound and should be both of what you are looking for. | |
