Speaker Recommendation: 20K range

Class D is just Dandy!
@atmasphere can you give us any information on when your Class D (not digital) amps might be ready for prime time? Will they be stereo or mono-blocks? Estimated price?

Phono Stage Opinions
Sweet! If sounds good than don't worry, can't even think of what to suggest at your price point. I know the Gold Note PH-10 is so versatile it accepts to turntables and does MM or MC cartridges with many possible settings but it also is about $100...
