| Need under $1500 preamp for my system If you’re super into jazz, blues, vocals a tube pre like schiit Freya is pretty unbeatable for under $1kbe careful though, a tube pre can be a little much if the rest of your system is warm sounding. | |
| Naim XS3 or Elicit-R to replace ELex-R I have those focus 110 - incredible speakers.The more power you can give them, the better. They actually need more than the focus 160. | |
| Class A 30 Watt Amps: Are they enough to drive my book shelfs? In my own personal experience, "enough" never does the trick with amps. Having the most quality power has always given me the most satisfaction - maybe it's the extra ability of the amp, extra headroom...or maybe it's all just in my head. | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers Dynaudio focus series110 or 160 tough to beat for the price. I have the 160 now but I think I actually love the 110 sound more - I very much regret trading those!No offense to the polkies, but the dyns stomp the Polk LSi series in every category -... | |

Mr.D - now that it's brought up - my mileage did vary with Schiit products...The quality of the freya was sub par because it i... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I just got a time capsule yamaha mx1000u that matches or beats the specs of everything mentioned here. Paid 750 on ebay. It's the quietest and most dynamic amp i've ever owned...from Krell to PS Audio. Unbeatable for the money. | |

| Used Amp Under $1000 What about a YAMAHA MX1000u or any Sony ES.overbuilt, massive power, quiet, bulletproof. And yam has the 80’s synth style led VU meters. Sick! | |
