My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
Mikepaul,I don’t have the 15a’s. I’ve demo’d them a bunch of times, and always enjoy them. One Day, maybe, just maybe...You can find them for "reasonable" pricing (though 15k is still crazy to spend and I can’t believe I consider it).I have a pass...

In regards to the thread in general, WC seems to be having fun... some of you seem to literally have your self-worth tied up in it.It's a freaking hobby.  Arguing about anything on the internet is an exercise in futility, but arguing about opinion...

@jujubeez While I'm not WC we actually know each other pretty well over years of audio discussions.Personally, if you like Stat's, I think the 15a's are really an awesome bang for the buck.  What has held me back on Stat's in the past is I'm a roc... 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
Absolutely in the team photo.One of their greatest strengths is that while they may not be the "perfect" pairing with a given set of speakers, they typically sound damn good with everything.  So, as far as an investment that is nice to know.I've r...

@viber6 There are a number of outstanding speakers with great dynamics below 30k.Hell, there are a number of outstanding speakers in general below 30k.  I've heard the Tektons, in fact I've been to Terry Londons house and heard his.  I understand ...

I’ve had the chance to demo the Neoliths a couple of times.1. Axpona in Chicago 2015, demo’d with the 1.2kw mcintosh amps. Comfortably Numb - it was like being at a Floyd Show. Dynamics, seamless, just oustanding. The room wasn’t perfect, and whil... 
Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts??
Pass Labs, no question. 
Capitol Audio Fest and the New York Audio a trend is emmerging
11k speaker cables, 8k interconnects, and a 5k power cord is hilarious with any system.

@mapman More on the spatial room would be GREAT.I love a huge soundstage (probably why I'm looking at an new pair of ohms, but also looking at spatial)Would love your thoughts?  How was the bass (I dig a bit of bass) 
JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker!
@gosta  I would love to hear the big ATC's.  I've heard the 40's, and the active 50's and been impressed.  Only thing I wondered about was the deep bass slam and air movement.  But man they were fast and dynamic with little coloration. 
JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker!
@janewyman Funny you ask that.I've liked the 4367/M2 for a while (I do think the M2 performs a bit better.Had the chance to hear the Quattro CT carbon the other day.  I was really, really impressed.VERY open, and the bass was spectacular.  Set-up ... 
Dynaudio-Which one should I buy with around $5000.
