| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Coverto,It is a combination of good parts, and how you put them together. McIntosh is a safe bet - my dad had a Mac amp that lasted him 30 years of trouble free service. And many people love Krell's accuracy and authority.But the proof is in the p... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Agree that Dynaudios can sound wonderful with moderate wattage tube amps - but more good juice can't hurt either.Before we go onto amps - don't forget a quality source, or you will be at risk of G.I.G.O.The amps you list are fine. Lots of power is... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? On second thought, the AV123 X-Static may not work for your application because of it's size and need for breathing room. | |

| preferred interconnect for FM tuner Thanks Al,Even on the strongest stations, this is not the quietest or highest resolving tuner. With that said, it has good overall tone and sounds "pleasent" enough, especially with the previous ICs I had on it. The AQ Diamondbacks seem to fight a... | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers Caps - yes, silver fuses from HiFi Tuning or other source - no. |
