| Basic Budget Bookshelf speakers The Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus is $699/pr and look and sound great, and they don’t require a lot of power so your Yammy should work fine with them. Best of luck. | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K Joseph Audio Perspective 2 pretty much checks all your boxes. Best of luck. | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Marantz. | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k Not everything that comes from China is junk. Denafrips is not junk, and ignoring them is your loss. | |

| Best skiinny floorstanders What sound characteristics are most important to you and what would you like to improve over what you have now. BTW, the Boenickes are great but not sure they’ll work too well with a tube amp. | |

| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk Given what you’re looking for I’d definitely make Harbeth speakers a must hear. They’re voiced starting with the midrange and are very musical speakers. ProAc, Verity Audio, Rockport Technologies, Sonus Faber, and DeVore would be some other good... | |
