Ultimate Integrated amps
Low power tubes will never be able to max out Borresen speakers unfortunately.The Borresen team uses their Aavik U-380 to power them. 
Ultimate Integrated amps
I'm still searching the ultimate integrated amp to build an end game rig with very little gear.So far my favorite ones are the d'Agostino Momentum Int and the Vitus SIA-030.I found the CH Precision a bit behind in terms of grunt.The speakers will ... 
Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated
Another vote for the Hegel H390, best solid state in this price range. 
Time to buy a class D amp?
Best class D i can think of is without a doubt Bel Canto Black ACI 600.Most likely the best single chassis class D integrated amp out there, probably better than more expensive separates.

@prof  140w of tube power is good enough to drive them well but regarding solid state you are better of with at least 200w or more.Ghyphon Diablo 300 is the perfect match for them IMO.

Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think?
Hi guys i'm also a new Borresen fan and was blown away by what i've heard at the Munich show this year.I own Thiel CS 3.7s and would like to upgrade towards Borresen 02 or 03 depending on budget.Do you guys think it's really worth purchasing the 0... 
Best of compact audio systems
Please no advise from dealers since you have something to sell thanks. 
What are the best bang for the buck on higher end headphones?
I'm getting the Hifiman HE-1000se and the Chord Hugo TT2 in december.Should be a very nice rig. 
Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7
@jafant the best one i can think of is d'Agostino Momentum Integrated if i don't go separates.Did you find an amp to drive your Thiels ? 
Ultimate Integrated amps
Guys there has been multiple threads discussing resonably priced integrated amps and there are too many amps under $20K to list them all.On the other hand 30 to 50K integrated are pretty rare and it would be nice to have your thoughts on why you w...

@charles1dad, my wife obviously prefers the Aries Cerat combo with the 3.7s.She loves this very rich organic sound and at the same time so transparent and dynamic.Imagine what we've heard is only the first level in Aries cerat line.There is this g...

@thielrules, Yes Aries Cerat preamp and monoblocks is in another league paired with the 3.7s, it is even more musical and engaging than the Ypsilon pre-power.This level of musicality is impossible to reach with SS.If you are ready to spend 46K and...
