Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome.
Ohh those are pricey! They do look mighty sexy! Maybe in another 10 years I’ll pickup a pair.   
Is my amp good enough?
Can you just bring your amp to the store. Then you can compare it to the other equipment they have there that is more pricey. Most dealers will allow this.  
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
@mihorn ……   lol. You’re not helping your business by doing this YouTube comparison BS! Get a clue dude.   
KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them
You replaced REF 1 with LS60? Why?    I thought the Dynaudio Focus XD 60 was going to be sublime! It was not although super clean sounding. Amazing for vocal intelligibility on tv. Music. Ayyy. Ok ish.   
Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?

20 year old solid state technology.....

Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range
Rogue Triton 2 is really nice. Haven’t heard a lot of phono pres but it is worlds better than the ones that has been in integrated amps I’ve had or the cheap Emotiva one I had. Well reviewed and AudioMart has one NIB for 1050 obo.   
Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs
I’ve not heard recessed mids with any Focal speaker I’ve heard or seen any evidence of that in measurements. If someone has measurements showing this I’m interested. Love my lowly 836w speakers and they have fought off pricier competition I’ve bou...

Curious where you see those measurements you are referring to?   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Also I had the smaller Schiit for a minute. It was pretty transparent and subtle. Not sure I’d go $1500 for the expanded version.   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
EQ is one thing. Proper room correction is another. I use both in my main system.
