| Hate to do this again. Start over. Class d Channel Islands? | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) Bel Canto?Rogue (hybrid)?I'm sure there are others; more out there than you might think. | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations I own the PMC Twenty.24 model, and find they throw an excellent soundstage and dig good and deep for their size. But then, my room is extensively treated with GIK Acoustics products. Have you thought about that rather than shelling out $$$ for w... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Hey, what about Bolet? I have a few recordings of him that I really like. | |
