| The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers PhaelonIve not only heard Focal and Raidho ..but owned both of them!Your suggestion about SET amps is ridiculous,and one should always buy speakers first then match the amp to them.The college verbage may sound correct but doesnt really apply,IMO. | |
| The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers IMO, good start on a short list although I would eliminate B&W imediately and having heard the Focals alot I would scratch them off as well..but you should include Vivid and Raidho | |
| How awesome is the McIntosh MC501? Im in the Stanwal camp and I presently own a Mac amp.I will say this about McIntosh .IMO, well built w/great resale value and yes I do like those blue meters.As far as stating "awesome",never!.One thing where Mac fails in the "highend" amp market ... | |

| Prefered Amplifiers to run with Harbeth M40.1 A "better term" would be musical, beautiful, and engaging You forgot,IMO.. as alot would disgree with that statement ,as you do with mine.The bottom line for original poster is a quicker amp may help with issues. | |
| Prefered Amplifiers to run with Harbeth M40.1 Although Im not a fan of Harbeth at all,I would go with a quicker SS amp as suggested, Pass labs.The 40.1 is somewhat sluggish and rounded for lack of a better term IMO.As a Jadis owner for 2 decades it would be one of the last amps I would sugges... | |
