| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers Charles1dad said:My point is don`t be condescending and dismissive to those listeners who chose an active component rather than his. I agree completely. I think that you have to look at the LSA in terms of value. It's an outstanding value and a ve... | |

| B&W 803D - Best amplifiers to drive them Never heard the 803s but the 802ds are outstanding w the right amp! | |
