Description

I am so pleased, it will be difficult to swap anything out. The only possibility is a set amp with a little more power. The Larry Moore 300B-XLS is about 13w/ch and has been my primary amp for 3+ years.

    Very nice w/ the Thorens.
    • Sony SCD-333es
    A nice 5 play & for the occasional sacd.
    • Aesthetix Calypso
    As many have reviewed, excellent QPR. Allows most of the details with smooth, almost natural delivery. Opted for this because of remote & balanced output.
    • Audio Mirror 45W SET
    6C33C SET Mono Block Amps, 45W/Channel.
    • Ascendo C8 Renaissance
    Large 3/4 way monitors. Sound & behave like 'almost full range' floor-standers.
    • Harmonic Technology Cyber Light
    Fiber Optic design
    • Harmonic Technology Magic Link II
    6N OCCC, my favorite, that I can afford. They are pretty close to the mega $ cables in terms of allowing all the music, naturally.

    6N OCCC
    • Jena Labs Model One
    Power Conditioner & cord that I use with the AMR CD-77

    Transformer based Copper version passive with 0 or 6dB of gain. Clearly in the same league as Slagle & Bent Audio. This is an excellent mate to the Audio Mirror amps.

    A very clean design with short point to point wiring, James Audio Iron, Mundorf Silver/Oil, over spec'ed parts, with EML 300B-XLS which gives approximately 13W/Ch. Linear in nature and very nicely extends on top & bottom. After 6 years, still my favorite amp.

    N Core NC400 monoblock amps. Class D, DIY - 200w/ch mono amps. My new summertime amps! Ultra low distortion makes for great sound.

Ludimagis,
Nice system! I am contemplating the C8 renaissance speakers to replace my Harbeth Shl5. My room is quite small though 14' x 12', however I feel that these will work in that space. What do you think?
Cheers,
Sid
