Amp vs preamp question

Without the "numbers" the quest might be endless and terribly expensive. The numbers don't neccssarily provide the ultimate answer, but they can sure get you there quicker. I'm in complete agreement with Tvad here.

The numbers are just guidelines to help narrow the search and get you there quicker. After that, its largely subjective...a matter of taste.

I'd consider some of the more powerful Class D amps with the Thiels to get them fully fleshed out at reasonable cost from what I'm reading.

So from this point going forward, you know exactly which amp, preamp, and loudspeakers to get simply from the numbers, huh?

Blindjim, you either have not read my posts carefully, or you're selectively leaving out details.

Please don't do that. It's not fair to those who don't read all the posts.

For interested readers, I have explained my process in detail in my posts above. Please read them for the full account.
