| Best Amplifier at $3000 for PSB or VA May have to look used, but Ayre matches well with both - demo'd both and purchased the PSB Sync 1s. Great sound and for me more forgiving to room setup/config then Vandersteen (also demo'd 2CEsigll). Good luck and enjoy! | |

I moved all my CDs to binders with CD pages - includes liner/artwork and my whole collection can sit on a hi... | |
