Hey RICH Audiophiles
Expensive stereo parts are heavy and difficult to move. The best component made is a friend to enjoy your system with no matter the price. It would be better to invite people over to share the sound and experience it together. To share opinions mu...

Krell LAT 1000 with tubes
I have Lat 1s and found Evo 600s sound far better than the Evo one. The Evo 900s would be excellent also. The Evo one does look cooler but lacks the power and superior sonic signature.
