That's good to know, thanks.

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I'm using single-ended connections with a Denon X3700H AVR. This is my first time setting up a home theatre.

I'm just about to set up LCR speakers for the first time with three Fosi Monos plus a home theatre AVR (+ active sub). Am I correct in thinking that I should invert the red and black connections at the rear of the three mono amps?

I had reached what I thought was peak audio (for me anyway), but for some reason sold it all and bought Devialet Phantom speakers on a whim. Over the past few years I had chopped and changed components, cables, and layout, but was never content. I'm just enjoying the music now and have stopped...

Was I the only person to get straight onto eBay after reading this review? Well done, Amir.

I received my Minidsp SHD recently and wanted to provide some feedback regarding the ADC. The main reason I purchased the SHD was so that I could connect two tape decks - a Nargra IV-S and a Revox B77. Well, they've never sounded better, so I would guess that the analogue to digital conversion...

I value your opinion, you're obviously a learned person. What are your thoughts on my current speakers (Sonus Faber Olympica III)?

Maybe the Genelecs will be displayed in the MoMA one day?

Have you heard the Beolab 28s?

There's no way I'd be putting out a pair of Genelec 8351B speakers in my lounge. Would you rather have these on display rather than the B&Os? I really like B&O design (from all decades) - so I guess it is just a matter of differing taste.

Do you think there might be a difference in quality between optical in and ChromeCast streaming?

You could consider them to be gimmicky, but good design and materials costs $. When you take into account that they have amps, speakers, DACs, DSP, etc, I wouldn't say that they offer terrible value. I'm just a bit fed up with my lounge looking like a hifi shop.

I'm just trying to figure out the best way to connect the speakers to Roon and my two analogue sources (Nagra IV-S and Revox B77 mkII). I'm thinking about connecting directly to the Roon Rock PC (with USB->SPDIF converter), and then using the 3.5mm line in for the analogue devices using some...

I'm seriously thinking about selling all my gear and buying a pair. They look beautiful and supposedly sound great. Plus, I'm getting fed up of the never ending cycle of swapping/upgrading DACs, AMPs, speakers, and all the cables are doing my head in!

Update: after reading all the great reviews, I've just bought a Benchmark AHB2, which only has one set of XLR inputs. I'd still like to listen to my three tape decks (Nagra IV-S, Revox B77 and Sony Walkman Pro). I intend to always run the DAC straight to the power amp, but will unplug the DAC...

I'm trying to work out if this amp would be suitable to power a pair of 4 ohm, 90 dB SPL (2.83 V/1m) sensitivity speakers. I would be using it with an RME ADI-2 DAC.

Very nice - particularly as it has the ability to work with three tape decks!

Thanks for the suggestions @Robin L and @Blumlein 88. I'll do some research on the RME ADI FS-PRO ADC/DAC. Although, how would I switch the signal to record the DAC to three different tape decks? Another switch box?

Hi At the moment I'm feeding an RME ADI-2 DAC directly into a vintage Sony poweramp (TA-N77ES) with the attenuation on the amp set to bypass. I also have three tape decks (Nagra IV-S, Revox B77, and Sony WM-D6C) connected to the amp which I use with the amp's second input and using variable...
