adagios vs veenas
Well Shakey after 4 months now with VTLs latest ST150,the one with the nice silver face with those beautiful KT88's behind glass.I have to say I really prefer my old Nuforce V3 SE mono blocks.There is no comparison in the bass.Ref 9s smoke the VTL...

Shakey I just sprung for the latest version of the VTL ST 150 to drive my Grand Veenas.Since you had this same combination I wanted to get your opinion on leaving my Nuforce ref 9 v3 amps behind.

The Veenas in general sound clearer.Even better imaging more dynamic too.I recently added a Thorens ultimate restoration with a nice Denon 103 R.let me say this rig sounds great.I would like to change amps from my Nuforce V3SEs,and go for a better...

So Shakey did you change any other components besides your Speakers

So I'm purchasing Grand Veenas will be home to listen in about two weeks,but want to ask other owners this,I have small room 12 x 15 x 9 and larger room 24 x 16 x 14 which suits these better Reviews seem to differ.

Anyone familiar with Tidal Piano or Rockport Mira compared with these we've been discussing? 
adagios vs veenas
My Adagios have upgraded crossovers modified by Robert Lee himself and are bi-wired.I think the grip in the low end is improved although lowest registers are still lighter than live.They speak with one voice something that I'm sensitive to and fea...

Thanks guys but I have been afraid of purchasing to much speaker for my room,so I will hold off on anything to overpowering and think refinement.Perhaps a Magico Mini or YG carmel or Raido. 
Class D vs Class A
Thanks for the response guys ,I've decided to stick with the Nuforce.Why?Not for the power my room is small 12X14x9 but the sound should marry better with a new Hp 100 pre-amp adding even more sweetness into this mix might be over the top so lets ... 
Nuforce 9v2SE with Acoustic Zen Adagio
I do own Adagios and run a V3se into them with excellent results.I have a Theta tube pre( that sounds better than the LS26 I got rid of) and really like this combination,I mean I'm satisfied finally.Have a good listen.
