| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid If you like the B&W sound you are on the right track with the options you mention but you might like to add Focal to the list. Not my cup of tea but speaker choice is very personal and I prefer the more musical (less analytical ) speakers like... | |

| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move If you really want musical go with the best Sonus Fabers you can afford, used or new. Personally I would recommend Serafinos if you can find a used pair in your price range. | |
| Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned. It's easy to get a free return and refund for most Aliexpress purchases. | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary In your price range an Antipodes CX used takes some beating. | |
| Need Amp or next component upgrade advice I bought a Fosi V3 ( not the monos ) out of curiosity. I don't know whether it was working properly or not but it would not drive my Sonus Faber Sonetto V speakers. However the return was easy so it would cost you nothing to try it. | |

| Looking to downsize and for suggestions for amp(s) I don't know about the Hawks but I once had Obelisks which sounded terrible with my 300wpc expensive power amp. I later heard them with a smaller McCormack amp and they were so good I regretted selling mine. The guy demonstrating indicated that th... | |
| Deals Gone Bad I'm in Australia and have bought and sold to and from the USA, UK and even Latvia without any major problem. The only minor issue was with Fedex who delayed giving me Australian Customs clearance information for 3 weeks and were uncontactable duri... | |
| SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement If you don't have a large collection of SACD/CDs forget it and go with streaming. Qobuz hi res albums are usually as good as SACDs or at least very close. | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... Believing every teak on the market makes a huge difference to SQ. | |
| Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U The Confidence C1 speakers are vastly different in sound to the other 2 speakers you might be interested in. So what type of sound are you really looking for? | |
