Pearl Acoustics Sibelius Speakers
@dodgealum I have not experienced the Cube Audio Nenuphar or the Sibelius speaker. But I experienced a similar speaker design from France based on the Audax AM21LB driver. You can demo the Audax speakers in Paris and the retail for approx. 2000€/p... 
bookshelf speakers that sound good on an enclosed bookshelf
I'm currently using Closer Acoustics OGY speakers on a bookshelf. The 30cm height and 13cm width makes the OGY easy to fit on any shelf. They're front ported. They're easy to drive, even with a puny China amp, you only need 10W. I'm using a 40€ Wo... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@rolox The Amptastic vanished from existence. This amp was my first choice, the price was very reasonable at around 100€. And the design was perfect. The Trends was 200€ and with the same on paper specs as the Sure. I read a review somewhere comp... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@rolox Thanks. I have to stress that the class D cheapie doesn't impress without a sub! This amp is all about the mids and highs. It's hard for me to recommend the Sure amp in absolute terms. You get 0 versatility. No bass. Only 10W of power. And ... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@atmasphere Looking at those specs the TA2024 looks like junk haha. Who on Earth wants just 10W at 10% distortion LOL? @dekay It looks like I have been pissing off the neighbors this past week. I'm still rocking that puny little Sure amp. It's re... 
Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new?
Elipson Heritage XLS 15. Similar to Cornwall in design. Much cheaper. Has built in treble and bass controls.

News update: The tube amplifier is still under repair. The artisan is struggling to fix the problem.  I added the REL T5X subwoofer just now. And it FIXED everything! Now I have an excellent setup, even at low volumes. I am very happy right now! ... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@rolox So I came back from an 8h train ride and finally had a chance to try the Sure amplifier. I hooked it up to the Node in a jiffy and listened to a bunch of tracks with Deezer/BluOS (subwoofer still in box). Yo be fair, I was in a cranky mood ...

Hey, if it sounds loud to me I ain't bothered!  Speaker specs are intentionally confusing anyways. The OGY are so easy to drive because they're just 4" paper drivers with a 1/4 transmission line inside a 30x30x15 cm box.   
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@atmasphere 50W is a lot! My terrible tube amp doesn’t even go to 20W and I have the volume set to minimum. My room is about 24m^2, maybe less. My speakers are rated at 15W max. I am also listening from a distance of 1~3m. Yeah the artisan sucks... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
My OGY speakers are very efficient at 91db SPL. I only need a few watts. The manufacturer rates the OGY at 15W 8ohm max. If I get 4W out of the amp it should be enough to annoy the neighbors.  My #1 priority is noise floor, since my speakers are ... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
Sure, but if you have a subwoofer already it might compensate right?  
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@rolox My curiosity peaked and I bought the Sure amplifier with the Tripath TA2024 chip. Some reviewer online compared the Sure amplifier with the Amptastic and the Trends and stated that the differences were pretty negligible. Since the Sure is 6... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
Alright, so I do not have the amplifier with me. The amplifier always made that hum, even on the shorted inputs. I only use 1 out of 4 inputs so it's quick to find out. The hiss is gone.  But the amplifier is currently in repair. The artisan tol...

You're talking about cars? Ha! no. Unfortunately I drive a company car for work. It's a Renault Kangoo diesel 85hp. It gets me all around Paris. And I don't pay for fuel (which costs 2.20€/litre BTW).
