| 700.00 speakers new or used Good purchase on those B&W CM5s. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I am looking forward to you thoughts on your Sterlings once you’ve had time to get acquainted with them. Was thinking of pairing with a Pass XA25. | |
| Where do I go from here? Given your equipment I believe I would upgrade from the Rotel amplifier. Otherwise possibly the speakers if you are wanting to change the character of your system. Then an amplifier to compliment the new speakers.If your CM2s with sub are working ... | |
| Need help selecting my new Amp setup! Search for a used integrated amplifier that best mates with your speakers. What is the sensitivity and impedance of the JBLs? | |
| Best cheap integrated amp I believe the Yamaha 801 has a different DAC than the 701. One which does include USB, however differs in the D to A conversion chip. I believe the pre/amp stages are the same. IMO the Yamaha A-Sxxx series represent good value. The OP wants to dow... | |
| Is the preamp the “heart” of the system? I use a tube pre in a digital based system. I believe the preamp serving as the 'heart ' of a system stems back to vinyl/tape only playback. Now days there is more debate on this. That said I can't see myself going with a passive pre in this system. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please I own the Audio Mirror and love it. The Orchid is also highly thought of at less money. You might consider the features, such as inputs, as the AM is configurable prior to purchase. | |

| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? Maybe the power difference between these amplifiers should be in consideration given the possibility of upgrading to the Pulsars.What is room size, desired loudness levels, dynamic level demand? | |
| Anyone tried the Denafrips CD transport? I believe the Denafrips is a Redbook CD player only. My Tubadour has the upgraded caps and resistors, however lacks the I2S output. | |
| Anyone tried the Denafrips CD transport? I would be most interested to see it and will look for it. | |
| Anyone tried the Denafrips CD transport? A comparison between the Denafrips and the Jay's would be great. As would between these and the CXC. My greatest interest would be between the Denafrips and the CXC as the Denafrips is about 1/2 the cost of the Jay's. May purchase the Denafrips a... | |
