Yes I know, hence looking for the reliable source to avoid any possible headache, but most likely will buy locally if nothing definitive comes up

DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3
For the Chario. me thinks its well worth trip to Milan to take a listen :) Carlo V. of Chario is a gentleman, and their listening room is superb :) (Besides, you ll save yourself distributor’s margin, which in India’s case is quite a lot, given yo... 
DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3
Both 800D3 and C4 are very, very good.... I’m sure you ll be happy with the either one.... Having said that if you have a chance try to give a listen to the Chario Serendipity or the Eminent Technology 8b model (don’t be misled by their ET8s laugh... 
DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3
Get the 800D3 with German Symphonic Line RG mk4 monoblocks and Cardas Golden Cross shot-gun bi wire speaker wire . These are best solid state amps on the market, and great match with the diamond tweeter. Mac amp are mediocre to say the least..... ...

Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp
@samzx12 I dont really recall which PL, model but it was awhile ago, yes , so could be that PL really has improved their designs :) ...Rogue Audio integrates need modifying to sound their best ... their top of line black monoblocks at 15 grand (i ... 
Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp
Rogue Audio M 180 monos are really good! Made in USA too! Just ask them if they will modify them to use the EL 34 & KT 77 tubes that sound so much sweater and refined ... Even the Stereo 100 is a great amp, but once again insist on EL 34 versi... 
Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
@BDP24 If you REALLY want a fresh LFT 6, give Bruce Thigpen a call. If you ask him nicely (as I’m sure you would) ;) , he will produce you a one off custom pair of the LFT 6s, with all the improvements of the modern ET line and all... at a cost of... 
Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
I was told by my ET dealer that LFT 8bs while a relatively easy load can dip as low as 3 ohms at certain frequencies, that is why Electron Kinetics and Symphonic Line are such a good match with them.... Having said that I ve driven mine 8bs with A...

Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
@ rotarius "I really don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but like every speaker I have tried, the LFT-8B have a few flaws and they can be quite intrusive. I had them paired to my Belles 150a amp. The bass from the woofer was never quite right in... 
Magico vs Kef vs B&W vs. VSA
Bowers Wilkins 800D3 are in totally different league compared to the any brand mentioned here, if.... you know what live music sounds like .... Other models just sound what many audiophile prefer... IMHO of course :) If you live in Europe, or will...
