| (Brutally) Honest Audio Reviews Wheres Simaudio Ace and Naim Atom? I know they are light weights. however we all dont own huge listening rooms or mansions. Many of us have smaller places with no need for 800W./ ch. Both are hot sellers for the middle class music lovers. | |

However, if I am going to drop $800.00 I do not want control knobs that are from the 1940's. I have seen antique radios with these same ... | |
