| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers How come nobody mentioned Plinius? Older SA-50 amp is extremely good for the money. | |
| Best monitors under $5,000/system combos SF cremona auditor, Dyne C1 and Harbeth are just a few very good speakers mentioned in this thread - definitely worth checking out with the PASS amp. Just would like to add FOCUS Audio 688 monitor speakers. If you can locate a dealer, try to liste... | |
