PS Audio BHK 250 - Is it still a good amp?
Regarding the “drive any speaker” question, check PSA’s own forum to see BHk250 not able to drive Maggie LRS $650 speakers. Shut down when driven hard. Same owner I think said 250 could handle the 1.7’s but not the LRS 
B&W 804d3 amplifier pairing....(Rotel RB1590?)
Honestly, if your preferred sonic characteristics are include bright, as you mentioned, you are on the right track with B&W and Rotel. Plus you already think it sounds good. Bryston doesn’t really have a common house sound throughout its line.... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
But OP the thread title is for L590AX, not the Mk II version that I’m asking about. Or are you saying you have the L590AXii. ???Edit: sorry didn’t read closely enough your last post. I guess you are saying you have the original version (not mk ii ... 
TEAC NT-505 - How good is it?
Well I can say I own NT-505 and Cambridge Azur 851n (the step above CXN) and the Teac destroys 851n sonically - no contest. Only thing better about the 851nbis the display with artwork (which is damn cool for the 851n price) 
Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
Where’s the over/under line where a top analog system will beat out a top digital system at that money? $1k? $2k? $5k? $10k? $20k?Here’s what I mean. Let’s say those numbers above are just for the front end, digital or analog ( and let’s say the b... 
Best bookshelf speaker?
If $$ not a concern, and sound quality rules, I’d cross Kanta and B&W 705 off the list. Listen to both the Kef and the Sopra and decide. They sound very different. I’d think the Anthem integrated would pair fine with either.  My choice would b... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
Interesting thread. Have never heard of this issue with reference to the current version L590axii, but since that amp is on my radar I’d like to know in advance if that model is also susceptible. Anyone know if Luxman corrected the issue with rele... 
How old are you?
There was a poster on Agon who I believe was 97 (stated he had learned electronics before WW2 and if memory serves did once list his age) and I saw him post as recently as July or so. Forget name but hopefully he still around and will check in her... 
Fritz Speakers Carbon 6 Review
OP, can you elaborate more on the sonic differences between the Carbon 6 and Carrerras?  What does Carrerras do better if you still think they are better?  Thx 
What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs?
OP, I know you just swapped but can you pick a winner between the PL and the class A on the CW4? Seems like you really liked both.  
What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs?
Thanks, OP. Take your time and when you get to it, I’ll be interested to hear your impressions  
What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs?
OP, how does Primaluna HP integrated sound with the Cornwall 4’s?I am interested specifically in the combination of Cornwall 4 with PrimaLuna integrated (I guess the current EVO ones but this is close).  Thanks 
How old are you?
Young enough to kick any of your butts, haha! (well, maybe except for those dudes in their 30’s). Never used a slide rule, but have actually seen, used, and changed the ribbon (was that what they were called?, I forget....) on a manual typewriter.... 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
jbhiller, interested to hear how cornwall 4 pairs with PL integrated.  Please post results when you get it all settled in.

I’m betting the Spendor D7.2’s will be the Battle Royale champ
