| LSA Voyager Gan 350 @donnrut If you like Class A and do not like the heat and cost, you should look into the new KRELL XD lineup. I already own the K-300i integrated amp which is an incredible integrated. I use it in my bedroom. I just got a KELL 125XD amp that in ... | |

| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable @curiousjim I have not heard anything other than the LS50 Meta announcement where they said the META will trickle UP to the Rererence and Blade lineup. It only makes sense given the age of the 2 lines. I thought it would have been ready for the ho... | |
| LSA Voyager Gan 350 I have owned a modded version by EVS (the thread mentioned above talks about this adventure). It was better than stock and an excellent value. The clarity on the top was very good in stock and excellent after the mod. It was approaching the Benchm... | |

| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable I also have the KEF LS50 in my big room with the KEF KC62 sub. I drive them with the Benchmark AHB2 monos. I would be curious to hear the Blades with these monos. They cannot drive my Thiel CS3.7 to the best levels but the Blades are likely easier... | |
| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable People say that the REF line is a baby Blade but for me it is not like the Blades. The Blade is my fav speaker and I unfortunately cannot fit it in my house. The next place I move to will have space for the Blades. The REF line does not disappear... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq I had a few hours on the previous top of the line Luxman CD/SACD/DAC player. The new one is $16K and one I heard on an all Luxman stack was around $8K. Since that all Luxman stack sounded so good I was considering the DA-06 DAC when I was ... | |
| Your Favorite Sounding Power Amp, $5000 US Retail max. The LSA Voyager 350 GAN is really good. It does not have as much bass power as the CODA #8 but it has a bit more detail. I sold the Voyager and kept the CODA #8 since I wanted the extra bass. | |
| Your Favorite Sounding Power Amp, $5000 US Retail max. A CODA #8 WITHOUT meters is $5200 and highly recommended. I have this in my office. I just traded my Parasound A21+ for a KRELL Duo 125XD. Cost $3.1K. CODA and KRELL is better than the Parasound, though the A21+ is pretty good. | |
| Any love for newer Krell amps? I am listening to my RAAL SR1a headphones with my KRELL K-300i in my bedroom as I type this. It is the very best sound I have gotten from these headphones. I have tried a ton of gear on these headphones because I think they are incredible and soun... | |
| Any love for newer Krell amps? @arcticdeth Did you see the video from Walter @ KRELL (maybe CEO) on Jays_audio_lab thread on A'gon. Audiogon Discussion Forum I bought the KRELL Duo 125 XD today. An unbelievable trade-in offer for my Parasound A21+. A no brainer to get the KR... | |
| Any love for newer Krell amps? Thanks. The only negative for me now is the 21-inch depth of the amp. I did not realize it was that big. I have to decide between a new 175XD or a used 300XD. After I get rid of my Parasound A21+ it will be about the same price for the 2 KRELLs. | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? I have an Objectivists system with a Topping pre90, Topping D90SE DAC, and Benchmark AHB2. An ASR SINAD wet dream system. Though I got the system together from reading the much more reliable reviews from Sandu on Soundnews.net. The Benchmark LA4 p... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget A used Parasound A21+ and a new Topping pre90 ($600) will get you to $3K. It is a very good combo. I have my A21+ for sale but I think I will trade it in to a dealer on Wednesday (USAudiomart). There are even cheaper A21+ on sale on that site. Th... |
