Thank you, thank you! If you really believe headshell wires make an audible difference, I have a bridge to sell you.

I’m too cranky to tolerate tubes. Well, maybe just the ones in the Manley Chinook…

Angsty here! I love my 4B ST. Very clean, very powerful, deep low end capability. Built like a tank and will last past the 20-year warranty. Bryston service is very responsive. But, if I’m telling the whole truth, my resto-modded NAD C272 sounds indistinguishable. I had the capacitors...

Buy two with three channels each! If I’m dreaming…

I'm not buying that "low-powered" Class A Luxman story anymore! They are wolves in cashmere duds.

Damn, Roy, Damn. You're going to **force** me to raid my kid's college fund for a pair of La Scalas. It's extortion, I say. Well done, Roy.

The Sutherlands were designed at different times. The Insight is actually a better built, AC-powered version of the older, battery powered PH3D. The 20/20 was more of a clean sheet design keeping with Sutherland's dual mono principles. Since the Insight was originally produced, Ron has...

Just curious - did you try the ML at 475 or 1000 ohms without the SUT? It's a lot more than what is technically required, but it wouldn't harm anything either.

In Canada, there is also Axiom Audio. I have not researched them much, though. https://www.axiomaudio.com/floorstanding-speakers

I'm aware of the marketing; I'm describing the engineering. The issue is that Class A amplifiers by design have no "reserve". To exceed its 30-watt rating substantially, something else must be going on other than pure Class A operation. "Predominant Class A operation" does not sound as good in...

The Legacy Focus 20/20 speakers were $6500 a pair ... in 2004. I saw a pair for CAD $3300 on Canuck Audio Mart for what was said to be a MSRP of $11K. Could be a 20-year-old speaker, might be a bit newer. Also saw a pair of Bryston Middle T speakers for CAD $3000, for comparison. Can't say...

Bryston, perhaps? https://bryston.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Bryston-Loudspeakers-Literature.pdf

Sophia != Cornwall

I love the La Scala. I want the La Scala. It's just that they're the size of two washing machines.

The way I see it, it's a really a Class A/B amp with a high Class A bias. I don't care - it's marvelous.

Daaaamn!

I figured there was a discount scheme, but I thought I’d put it out there anyway!

If you’re going to look at Cornwalls, you might as well look at the Volti Razz, too. Easier to place; similar sensitivity. Both the Forte and Cornwall (and Razz) have enough sensitivity and dynamics to blow out the space you have. The difference will be the low end cutoff and the ease of...
