Great detail and great bass. They are now the older model and available for less than... | |

| Spend more money on the amp or the pre-amp? Update for anyone interested:Got a Rega Brio-R off Ebay ($430) for the KEFs. Sounds fantastic.Got a NAD 7175PE off Audiomart ($170) for the Wharfdales - sounds really great.Thanks everyone for all the thoughts and ideas - really helped me to sort... | |
