| Class d amplification @hbarrel I use a Schitt Freya with mine. | |
| Class d amplification Don’t let the price fool you but Class D Audio amps are in same category. I heard the Atmasphere amps at CAF a while back and they were wonderful. But must qualify that was with the usual Classic Audio high efficiency speakers. Kef Blades are ... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Yes many have carried weight for me over the years, especially early on when a lot of high end stuff was fairly new to me. | |
