| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw Thanks very much for the update. As I said, I find your thread quite interesting and informative as well. Since I have a fair amount of experience with Sonus Faber monitors, and because they not only generally sound good, they genera... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @erik_squires OP alluded to his WAF regarding the KEFs. I believe Mrs. OP very much likes the way the speakers look. A big plus for Mr. OP. :) This is an interesting thread. I’m tuned in until OP reveals the resolve. | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw Are you buying the more powerful amp and if so, what will you do for a preamp? Glad you’ve now heard sufficient bass through those KEF’s. May you be able to hear that bass at home. :) | |

| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… Hi @Grannyring, Thanks very much, Bill. I've already spoken to Colin.

My speakers are Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage, which are keepers. If I may, I'd like to ask my fellow 'philes two questions: -Is anyone pairing their A-200 with speakers which are similar to my GH's? ... | |

I can only hope that when I have "moved on" these magnificent musical instruments will somehow find a new, and deserving h... | |
