| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @ei001h -- Just stumbled over this thread today, and noticed with your latest post that you've now found the ideal amplifier match to your passive ATC's. I know I'm too late, but from my chair the amp recommendation for your ATC's would be MC² ... | |

| Focals latest - Cat Houses? https://www.da-x.de/de/atc-scm-300-asl-pro.html That’s ~$64k/pair here in Europe by comparison to the Focals. Even in "working clothes" finish and on low stands the ATC’s are somewhat more (honestly) appealing to eyes, I find. Outboard actively c... | |

| Klipsch KLF30s vs JBL 120ti @ahope4836 -- The JBL 120Ti’s are very good speakers (owned a pair of them some 35 years ago), much better indeed than some would give them credit for. One of the reasons for their unused potential is that of not being paired with 1) appropriate ... | |

| DAC suggestions? The NuPrime Evolution DAC-2 - that hardly anybody around seem to know (or care?) about/have experience with - is an excellent D/A-converter/preamp. When fully run-in (and it easily needs 200-300 hours to settle in, sounding closed-in and "woolen" ... | |
