| Possible new integrated amp for my new Focal Kanta's I have heard these speakers with an Arcam A49 and it was a good match. In that situation they are not bright at all, but warm and full with excellent imaging. That being said, this is a very subjective hobby. It's what YOU like, not your dealer. J... | |

| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) Falcon Acoustics RAM Studio 10 or Studio 20 (full disclosure I own a pair of the Studio 10’s).Non-fatiguing with excellent imaging and great bass performance for their size. A bit of a sleeper right now as their NA distributor recently changed to ... | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? FuselierWent out of business many years ago but John’s speakers were way ahead of their time and in some ways remain SOTA. John recently passed away and I count it a privilege to have known him back when he was designing and manufacturing loudspea... | |
