| Amp recommendation for KEF LS50 PeachTree Nova 150 is great with the LS50's. Better than my old combo of Benchmark DAC2 with Parasound A23 amp. I think the Parasound was the weakest link. The Benchmark DAC is better than the DAC in the Nova 150. Overall the Peachtree package is ... | |
| Budget Audience Clone? clarinetmonster2 ,Do you have mono block amps close to your speaker? If so, I have a pair of Audioquest Volcano (only 3 feet long) which seem to sound way better than my Audience Conductor..These AQ cables were sitting in a box in my garage for ... | |

| KEF and Paradigm Fast,There have been a lot of KEF posts recently and AudioTroy (NJ dealer) has replied to a most of them with feedback since he says they display a lot of the KEF line. You may want to go through the old A’Gon threads. One thing I remember he said... | |
| Looking For A Change There are a lot of Bryston 4B-ST's at the $1.5K level on A'Gon. So much so that I am surprised people have not dropped the price. Why not go up the line to the newer ST model?I had a 4B-ST long time back and it drove my NHT 2.5 speaker to decent ... | |

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Not sure if the was mentioned on this tread, but it adds some value to the conversation. I recently contacted Briscati about the M12 unit. Some feedback about the M12:"Roon Ready is in the final stages of the process for the M12 and we anticipate ... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! The LS50's are a gateway drug for further up the KEF range. Great choice. | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 dbphd, I only noticed today that you had asked me about whether I had the Blades in a previous post. Sorry for not responding. I do not own them yet but today I have the money to buy them (worked a 2nd job for them). So some time in 2018 I will bu... | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 e91811,Thanks for the feedback. I will have to do the home demo with the Benchmark amps. I was also thinking of the PS Audio DS or the Briscati M12 (soon to include ROON via ethernet).dbphd,I think the Ayre maybe a little weak for the Blades from ... | |
| KEF and Paradigm You should contact a few KEF dealers (there are a lot) and ask if they have any demo REF 5's if you are interested in buying them. I am looking around for KEF 1 or 3's myself and a couple of the dealers I spoke or emailed had demo units they asked... | |
