| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, +1Avalon and Tidal. The Rockport Arrakis is definitely one as well. Not made any more and I haven’t heard it but they get immense praise on the forums. | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. As others have said it’s about the love of music and the passion to reproduce it as best you can. Yes you can get great sound from budget gear. But let’s face it 99.9 percent of us are males with testosterone and egos and it feels good to buy tha... | |
| Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? +1 on addressing your room first if needed. Give Rockport Atria ii speakers an audition. They are world class speakers. Good luck ! | |
| Recommendations for 7 channel amp +1 McIntosh 8207! | |
| speakers for small room Don’t rule out floorstanders. They would definitely work in your room. Good luck ! | |
| Room Too Dead @bpoletti +1 on too many reflections distorting the signal. It’s better to be over absorbed than under absorbed. | |

| Aurender @lalitk Thank you for your kind words and advice. I will look into a switch upgrade as well. Happy listening! Ron | |
| Aurender Thanks for your responses everyone. I have a Boulder 866 that I am very happy with so I am looking for a streamer only. I have the latest node with an external lps which seems pretty good but would like to give a better streamer a try. | |
| Aurender I am considering an Aurender N 200 as well but I see it doesn’t have balanced outputs. My amp is fully balanced. Will I be sacrificing sound quality with the N 200 because of this? Is the N 20 with the OXCO clock and balanced outputs worth the pri... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution Audition the Boulder 866 and you will be glad you did. Very neutral with plenty of power for your speakers. Good luck ! | |
| I am streaming , how can I play music when provider goes down. Our xfinity service is quite good. It must be where you live that determines the quality of service. |
