KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
@mountainsong  If you are in S. Cal area or can fly in. These guys in Newport Beach have the Blades with the Luxman m900u amp (also the C900u preamp)https://www.excelaudio.us/ I think A'Gon username pokey77 gave his impressions on this system back... 
Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
@iar I have heard both of these specific demo units listed on A’Gon. The 3100 driving Wilson speakers at the 2017 LA show. The 3000 at a dealer event for the Los Angeles Audio Society. If I had the cash one of those would be in my home today. 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
@theothergreg How big is your room? Did you have the Blade 2 in your room to compare with the Ref 5? I am interested because I am going to be putting a Blade 2 in a very small room, maybe 14 x 13. At least for a few years, until I move them to a b... 
Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
@iar One difference between the 3000 and 3100 is that the 3100 has the ability to add the optional $10K power supply. This allows the 3100 power supply to focus on the input and the optional power supply to focus on the output. I may have this bac...

I think we should give the Hegel H590 a chance to show itself against the competition. 
KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4?
I just made a decision today that puts an end to my ramblings about my speaker search for the office (a lot of wasted speaker research). Today, I messaged an A'Gon member with KEF Blade2 in a small room, 14 x 13. He told me his impressions, he has...

KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4?
@crwindy  I emailed Hans Wetzel about the G4 and a small room and he said it would fit but he recommended the Kaya 45 and save some cash. The Kaya line (per Vivid) is supposed to image better. I sometimes see the Giyas toed in almost 45 degrees. E... 
KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4?
@fleschler  I was at a S. Cal dealer event where they had a Wilson rep and Dan D'??? and his Momentum amps. The Wilsons being demoed were the most expensive in the line. I started talking with the Wilson rep and my wife (who is not into audio) wal... 
Aurilac Vega G2 vs Aries G2
@david_ten Thanks for the link.@shadorne The wireless approach was always a preferred way for me. However, I have jumped through hoops to go direct Ethernet because of past criticisms of Wifi (going through house copper wires, rendu, etc..). I am ... 
dCS Dealer recommendations and dCS Network Bridge impressions
@david_ten  I see your point about the quality of the DAC end point. I will need to do some research on the ROON forum. 
dCS Dealer recommendations and dCS Network Bridge impressions
@david_ten If you have a Roon endpoint on your DAC do you need a Rendu if the DAC has Ethernet and there is also a ROON server on the network? 
Aurilac Vega G2 vs Aries G2
I was researching these units today and was wondering how good the Ethernet direct into the Vega G2 is. Aurilac seems to prefer wireless, so I was wondering if the Vega's Ethernet is the best connection option?
