No....not cheap, but ... | |
| sweetest sounding ss integrated Ayre AX-7e at 60wpc should be enough. Sweet\warm sound but dynamic and very involving.It can control the drivers like a champ.SS is not my cup of tea but I really like this component.RWA int. is also very good but component matching is very import... | |
