Pathos Classic One MKiII vs. my separates
Wanna bump this thread as I auditioned the mk3 with marantz 8006 playing a variety of CDs and B&W 607 speakers(I think)Sound was clear and detailed but v 'digital' bright on top end. What was causing this? As a result I didnt pull trigger on amp. 
Nuforce STA200
Its been out a few yrs. How does the STA200 stack up to newer budget amps, Emotiva monoblocks, Nuprime, TPA3255 based etc? 
Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
When the new Seas Excel Graphene drivers are out, maybe we'll have a new champion mid..

Accuton mids are pretty detailed. Salk Song 3

It's funny how a few board mods can change a Whathifi review from 3 to 5 stars. The reason you see the same companies winning whathifi awards is probably the same reason for never seeing a Hegel review in Whathifi
