Competitive class D amp suggestions
Only class D I ever liked was a Lyngdorf 2170 but that was totally due to the room correction and only with some speakers.    Not heard the new Gan stuff or any “high end” stuff but of the  medium priced class D vs medium priced AB or tubes I’ll ... 
Focal 1028/1038 BE and 30 Watt Class A Tube amp
I run some Focal 836w with a 50 watt Jolida 302CRC sometimes. It sounds really great at low to mid high volumes. When things get complicated in the bass it gets a bit lost compared to a muscle ss amp but overall sounds great. A little bit boomy bu... 
Who actually uses digital speakers?
To me that’s the point is taking away all the options. You get an optimal match of amp with the speakers and no power sucking distortion creating physical crossover.   I’m wanting my next speaks to be active or at least run them active with no cro... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
Go through the closets basement garage whatever  and find some unused stuff and sell it. Raise your budget to 2 grand and pay cash!🤔   she will only see the 1k come out of the bank. Haha just kiddin ……. But serious.   
which is a better speaker
@mahgister , I agree with your room comments to a point. Depending on the size of the room and how far you sit away makes a difference. For instance if you have a 15x20 room and put the speakers on the short wall and sit 7-8ft away room treatment... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
As said above, those JBLs at 399 each. By most all accounts they are really good even at full price.    Some Dynaudio Focus 160s on eBay for 1.1k with make offer. With stands. Those are really good! Play much bigger than their size would suggest.... 
Speakers for Second System
I think the pass may run out of gas real quick with the Dynaudio. I had the Contour 20 with a more powerful Lyngdorf 2170 and it was very borderline on power. More would have been much better.   
KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless
From the past concerns I think from mostly version 1 LS50W on the electronic failures I would think if KEF is confident in the quality it would be no big deal to attach a 4-5 year warranty. I don’t know what the warranty period is but I assume it’... 
KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless
Looks interesting! I would be concerned about the longevity of the amps and electronics. Heard a lot of bad feedback about the LS50W in that regard. Would love to hear them though.   
Why is used audio equipment so undesirable?
I buy used 90% of the time. Rarely have I had an issue. I can sell sometimes even for a profit and keep trying new stuff basically for free or just the initial used investment. Let someone else take the hit.    When I do buy new I’m shooting for ... 
Large speaker recommendation
@ditisa 8.7k is the price each for those JBLs.   
SET suggestions up to $3k (used)
Maybe Used Frankenstein 300b? I heard a pair once and they were really good. If new I would read reviews and buy some Chinese crap if at that price range. I’m sure there are others though.   
Those that upgraded from Tekton
Local ATC 40V2 near me for sale I have been eying m669. What have you compared them to?   
Those that upgraded from Tekton
Went from DIs to Dynaudio Contour 20s. I don’t think I had enough power for those at the time and they didn’t stay long. Then got some Klipsch Chorus 2s which were fun but ultimately we’re not any of the things audiophiles look for besides being l...
