Jadis orchestra reference or DA50 for Proac D15?
We used a DA50 for a few years at my lake system, just for fun we tried a friends Jadiis O.R. and found the Jadis much more musical and a nearly perfect match for the Red Rose Music R3's. I purchased the Jadis forthwith. 
Sonus Faber Stradivari vs Sonus Faber Amati Futura
A friend owns the Strads so i've heard them many times. I was even going to purchase them from him until his new upgraded speakers in waiting turn out not to be an upgrade at all, I've also heard quite a fewer speakers worth many times the price o...

" The is a good chance I have been listening longer than you ". That may be true , but one thing I have learned in thirty five years of upgrading, is that each upgrade I've done has been a true upgrade, not a step sideways and each upgrade has unf...

Over 55? - You Gotta See This
Cdc,, sorry to hear that. For me life really began at 50 or so, I think. 
Set amps ?
6 watts will work fine a lower levels in a small room, but if you want to bring these speakers to life consider a hundred watts or more.

Sonus Faber Stradivari
There two very different sounding speakers. The Salons are very neutral and an excellent all around speaker, hard to fault. The Strads are warmer sounding and probably the best I've heard, not being quite as neutral there a little harder to get ri... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I also have three systems, but the main system is far superior so listening to the other two is always a bit of a let down.I've spent a life time trying to get friends interested in audio and on the so called merry go round, now some people here w... 
20 Amp Power cable--work with "any" 20 amp unit?
I've always preferred the 20 amp IAC terminal, a much solider connection.
