| Dearly departed Music Reference RM9 fearsnears,You might want to check out class-D offerings from the likes of NuPrime, Merrill Audio, or Wyred 4 Sound. Class-D generally gives you more watts per dollar. I recently purchased a NuPrime IDA-16 200 watt dac/amp integrated and have been... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @autre NuPrime IDA-16; I really enjoy mine. It has 200 watts; build quality and functionality is excellent and it sounds great.http://http//www.nuprimeaudio.com/index.php/products/amplifiers-and-preamps/integrated-amps/ida-16.html Cheers,Scott | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? The MA Silver 6 by all accounts is an excellent speaker. I auditioned at length the MA Silver 8 and nearly went with them but ended up going with the Bowers and Wilkins 683 S2. For me the bass quantity and quality was better (bigger with better to... | |
| Amp recommendations with a budget of $675 to mate with... The NuPrime STA-9 might fit the bill. Depending on where you buy it you get 30-45 days to try it.I've been using the NuPrime IDA-16 for the past two weeks and have been verY pleased with it. Great build, functionality and sound. Good luck with you... | |
| Nuprime ida 8 and elac unifi f5 I'm sure it will be more than decent, I bet it will sound great. When you get things set up give it a couple days to settle in. If the amp and/or speakers are new it will take some playing time for everything to break-in.If you get a chance keep u... | |
| Nuprime ida 8 and elac unifi f5 quilbilly,That's a good size room but unless you have the volume always at "11" it should be good.I think you've honed in on a good set-up. Just judging by the reviews and user comments of the NuPrime IDA-8 and the Elac Uni-fi F5 it should be a gr... | |
| Nuprime ida 8 and elac unifi f5 quilbilly,That should be a very good combination as long as your room isn't too big.I've been enjoying the NuPrime IDA-16 for the past two weeks and I'm very pleased so far. You might want to check out Audio Circle; the owner forum might have some... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @erik_squires Thanks for starting this. I had just ordered a NuPrime IDA-16 class-D amp when this popped up.It is a great amp. Many have already described how good class-D can be so I won't go into that. I'll just say I concur.Anyone looking for a... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @jt25741 Thanks for the heads-up. I was not familiar with the new Pioneer Class-D AVRs. They look great.Cheers,Scott | |

| Class D is just Dandy! @dougsat Congrats. The Peachtree was on my shortlist. It is a great amp. I just received a NuPrime IDA-16. It's only been a few hours and I'm really liking what I'm hearing. Let the break-in begin. I'm sure with a DAC and an amp inside I'm in for ... | |

| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini I have enjoyed my Node 2 for nine months now. It has an excellent OS and fantastic support. By all accounts the Aries Mini is outstanding as well.I have mine connected by Ethernet and have never had a drop-out but I can't give an assessment of its... | |
