New Aragon 8008 or Pass Labs XA25 ??
Sorry but I dont see CLASS D high end (Merrill/Bel Canto/etc) being good investments. You will lose a TON of money trying to resell those...I mean HUGE!!  I cant speak to inexpensive D gear cause I dont play in that sandbox. Im sure nobody would b...

Esoteric: new cd players
Not available currently in the USA so dont expect any reviews anytime soon.  A Measly K-01X would blow the doors off your 5X let alone the XS or Grandioso series. 
New Aragon 8008 or Pass Labs XA25 ??
You'll lose your *ss if you ever try to sell a boutique brand like Aragon that nobody has ever heard of. Pass will always be desirable and easy to ditch. 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
I'd like to try a Bakoon against my Valvet/Passxa25/First Watt Sit 1 + 3 etc....problem is they are almost impossible to re-sell due to their lack of a following here in the USA. So its a REAL Gamble investing in one without auditioning. Im going ...

Thanks Al.  I should have paid more attention in school :)  Somebody gave me that formula and told me the REF 10 and Bakoon would be fine. Thanks for stopping me from blowing up my gear!! LOL

Not sure that's going to effect too many people. Multiply by 10 to get your number.  REF 10 by Audio Research comes in about 60% of the Input Limit.  The Luxman C900 comes in at 10%. I'd love to see a list of how many amps would go over that 10K f... 
Just received my new Luxman CL-1000 pre-amp.
If you read Art Dudley's last review it was on this Pre-Amp. This Pre was specifically made and voiced to be paired with the Luxman 300B Tube Amp (MQ 300). Sadly Art didnt think he was missing anything when comparing it to his Shindo Monbrison whi... 
Luxman integrated for Harbeth Compact 7's
Buy a used 590 AXII for around 5-6K. You should be able to get a Brand New one for around 7K. Why the 550....your just going to ditch it to move up the line and lose money in the process. Start at the top and have no regrets!! 
Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in
If you want BEST sound for Harbeth's use TON TRAGER and not Sound Anchors.  You get what you pay for.  
Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh.
Yep..Dyn's need to be played at higher volumes than most other speakers to get the best out of them. If you listen at lower to moderate levels forget about ALL Dyn Speakers. Just the nature of the beast...sold my Contour 30 a couple of months ago ...

He forgot the obvious....MSB. And Esoteric doesnt sound like DCS..notice he wrote DSC???  Clueless 
Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China.
 My buddy has the ELysian 4 and absolutely loves them. He also has the $45K-50K AG Duo's so it says something to me that he keeps the "4" in rotation with those babies.  Revel 206/208 (I had the 208) arent remotely close in sound quality OR appear... 
Guttenberg's Cornwall IV Review -- I'm in trouble
6K is the MSRP. They can be had for much less. If you cant work out a deal to get them for $4800 or less your doing something wrong. I got my Forte 3's for $3100 (4K MSRP). Cornwall's can be placed on Dolly's with Isolation Mat's to make them a br...

Charles,  He's using the SIT-1 Mono BLocks...not the Sit-3 just to clarify
