| Bookshelf speakers for a NAD C368 integrated amp Kef LS50. Assuming you have space and stands and not actual bookshelves.For less money, look at the Klipsch RP600. | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen @tomic601 I listened to them at a hotel demo for 2 hours on some top flight sources and AQ cables. They were good but not $150k good. Admittedly, it was a hotel. But other systems sounded better and they had their best shot in a big space. | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth @chakster You could reach out to Robyn Wyatt in New Jersey Robyatt Audio.He had one on demo at a NY audio show. It sounded decent. | |
