@OP,
I messaged you back.
@stereo5 ,
I agree with you post, but I will continue to say that certain speakers work better with certain amps/preamp. I really hate the bandied 'synergy' word, but it really does have a place in audio systems.
I also love the look of the Mac meters, and I respect their build, but, for my Vandy's, they just don't cut the mustard as well as Ayre or Belles.
Would they work well- Yes!
But, they wouldn't have the 'fire and lightning' (think 'All About Eve') the aforementioned manufacturers do with my speakers.
There is a new post on the Audiophilliac regarding an audiophile who seems to have bounced around with more speakers than I think he should have. Yes, he has quality equipment, but he seems to have relied upon his auditions in the store, rather than asking to demo the speakers in his own room. In the end, he just cycles through speakers.-And, if his dealer is competent, he would have guided him more carefully in his choices.

It pains me to see someone needing guidance just spending money and not getting that audio high when everything comes together.
