| Forever speakers around $5000 +3 on Vandersteen Treo CT. Used it is a tremendous bargain and with good equipment sounds much more expensive than it is. I think it is the least expensive speaker currently that I could call "forever." Keep in mind that first and foremost I li... | |

| Solid State Preamp Under $8000 Thanks Karl. I can do a two box unit but an XP-30 or 32 when it arrives would not be possible.Auxinput: TBH, I have never heard a Krell preamp. What you say makes sense, I just have no experience with them. Actually, I think the Pass preamps tha... | |
