Solid State Low powered Amplifiers
Like a few others have recommended in the above posts, the First Watt amps would be a good fit for you and the Klipsch speakers.  I use the First Watt F8 with my Volti Razz and am very satisfied with the synergy.  My F8 runs warm but is not hot to... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey teajay! Thanks for posting and your timing in my case is spot on.  I have been listening to a few DAC's recently and trying to decide if a replacement for my Yggy LIM would make sense.  I have a tubed preamp ( Modwright LS100 ) and not sure w... 
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
I just now have noticed what was mentioned above with all of @silverfoxtvx1800 posts in this thread being removed.  He was very "enthusiastic" and had PM'd me on a few of my experiences re the Razz and my visit to Greg's shop.  I noted in one of t... 
Volti Voyage - New Razz
@deep_333  Hah!  No, I am just a happy camper with a bit of time on my hands, a tune in my head and a story to tell - with a happy ending!   However, in full disclosure I did buy the Mexican dinner/drinks across the street from Greg's shop/home a... 
Volti Voyage - New Razz
Appreciate the responses to my post!  It is certainly rewarding to support a local business and the craftsmen that build the speakers on site in this country.   @jonwolfpell - the amp I am using is a First Watt F8 along with a Modwright LS100 tub... 
Volti Voyage - New Razz
I am not well versed in Razz history but to my understanding there have been at least two versions.  The first Razz speakers had the crossover adjustments inside the cabinet.  On the current version the resistors for the crossover adjustment are i... 
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
P.S. to my post above - not to sound like a fan boy but I do want to mention for those curious and looking at a Razz that Greg has a beautiful pair in mahogany ready to ship - nicely discounted due to a very slight suppressed "ding" along one fron... 
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
A bit late to this thread but timely based on the speakers I picked up on Friday!  I will post in the next few days a follow up to a thread earlier in the year when I was seeking "coaching" on high efficiency speakers for my system.  After listen... 
Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8
So..... this is an "update" from me as the OP re this speaker pairing thread and what direction I decided to go. Not sure about you but at times I am following a thread and ultimately don't know what final decision or direction the OP took.  I ha... 
Aurender A200 vs N200
+1 to what @ghdprentice has to say.  He was influential in my streamer purchase. I recently went through an extensive review and search process for a streamer and selected the N200.  I was patient and found a one owner lightly used N200 and its a ... 
Anyone hear the Van Alstine CA1 Control Amplifier or NP1 amp demoed?
I have been on AudioCircle the past few days as I am contemplating a Van Alstine amp.  I did a quick post in VA's circle and received some timely and well thought out comments/feedback.  Frank and one of his employees also chimed in.  I did see so... 
SS Amp Choices
Thanks all for your responses and recommendations.  I will have time to review them over the holiday weekend.  One other potential amp that a friend had brought up that is in the $ range for a lightly used amp - McIntosh MC 152.   @soix - I liked... 
Thoughts? - First Watt F8 / Vandersteen Treo's
Thanks Gents!  Always good to have someone smarter than me to run this type of information by.  Leaning towards the Volti Razz which seems to be one to the top matches for the F8.    
Buying Used Speakers
Timing on this topic and the comments are very helpful.  I am in the market for a new set of speakers and definitely going the route of buying used.  Its a plus to hear some of the suggestions that I have thought of, but there are quite a few new ... 
Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1)
@krelldog - what Yggy did you have?  Certainly seems this is a bargain for a quality DAC at this price point.
