musician aquarius r2r dac any good?
'blows away"   ....and there it is....  
Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target!
I don't think there is any real commonality between Tekton and this Monitor Audio speaker other than multiple drivers   I agree. Any comparison is quite a stretch...  
Time to upgrade the pre-amp.
My take is that you need zero gain, and will be the better for it. YMMV...  
Beware of scam listings - users now have positive feedback.
@blisshifi I agree about contacting the seller. For high dollar purchases from a stranger, a phone call goes a long way to giving you a "warm fuzzy" about the deal. Too bad Agon frowns upon that.

I'm not certain, but I thought if you clicked on "buy it now" and didn't follow through, the seller could leave you negative feedback. At least that's how I thought it had worked in the past.      
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
I agree with Spencer. I've had low to high efficiency speakers and all have had their strengths and weaknesses. All could be made to sound good with matching equipment. That said, I usually come down in the high efficiency camp since I like mid to... 
Time to upgrade the pre-amp.
I am of the mind that if a system is passive friendly, and I think that the OPs, like mine is, then a very good passive linestage is hard to beat. I have plenty of gain from both digital and analog sources. I understand that an analog front end ca... 
Which component to upgrade 1st ?

Time to upgrade the pre-amp.
With the input sensitivity and gain of the Art amp, why do you think you need something with so much gain? You are only throwing it away.   Edit, I just saw @verdantaudio addressed this issue already.

You'd better ask someone else, MC is long gone. Post a thread in the analog or miscellaneous forum.

To all of the Wilson Audio owners:
I had the original Sophias briefly. I brought them in to compare against Piega P10s and Green Mountain Audio C3s, both of which I enjoyed more than the Wilsons. It's not that they were bad, they did many things very well. But it was more hi-fi tha... 
Mhdt Istanbul....not all the others from Mhdt.....lets discover the Istanbul (the Book)
I have owned an MHDT Havana and a Pagoda (modified by original owner) and both were excellent DACs. I would not hesitate to buy another MHDT product.
