Maker Audio NL14 and NL14+...

Best of luck with all that....it is a fine amp so it's a great idea to see how it mates with your new speakers, etc....for me with the Aeris and the processor, the A-02 was a better match overall, not for anything lacking in the NL14 amp by any means but simply in the overall synergy of the A-02's sound putting more tube-like characteristics into the audio chain right before the speakers and their processor.  For my ears and what I'm looking for, a better combination, nothing more...

I am not going to sell them now. Not going to give them away!! I have VC through the Phasure NOS1 XXHE software but might try a tube pre map to see what happens.

Very nice upgrade....let me know how you like them!

Have the 325w NL 14+ on the 96db Pureaudioproject speakers. Almost sold them but buyer backed out. Almost gave them away at the asking price. Going to run the EAR 890 amp to A/B with the NL 14+. Winner stays or may keep both as SS so things that tubes just can not do.

Absolutely agree with your last sentence :-) !
