The link I added was to a 1980 speaker builder article where Sanders proposed a curved panel. He obviously changed his mind since then.

DartZeel monos look like 13-year-old boys' gaming PCs to me. Soulution amps look and sound fine to me but don't carry the same mysterious aura as FM Acoustics amps.
I also admire the design of the Nagra gear.
I like Goldmund amps' design and sound in most respects, but they are oddly noisy, in part no doubt as a result of their 35 dB gain. If you stand within two meters of passive speakers connected to a Goldmund amp, you're likely to hear a little hiss unless the amp's inputs are shorted. Even Goldmund active speakers suffer from this problem.
Goldmund amps are now long out of my system.
Interesting. I’ve never heard anyone hear a Goldman speaker before. Rare species.
I have owned Goldmund Epilog 1&2s for 20 years, I am listening to the Rodrigo Guitar concerto on them now.Interesting. I’ve never heard anyone hear a Goldman speaker before. Rare species.

Beauty is in the eye they say. I also gave Thomas crap about the looks of his Giya's.They don't look as nice as the B&Ws though...
At your age you should be.Don't know, I'm not an audio historian...
If you get the DAT RS 05 ( the one that Svart linked to ) I will purchase it from you when you are finished with it, if that helps?

All the talk of CD player reminds me of my JVC Z1050TNI've owned a lot of DACs, TTs, Disc players,
Several years ago I called Roger Sanders because at the time I was very interested in purchasing his speakers and amps. I told him that I had heard them at the RMAF and was floored by what I heard. I explained that I was wary of committing so much money without hearing them in a non-show environment and I didn't know any dealer or person in the Toronto area who had them.The link I added was to a 1980 speaker builder article where Sanders proposed a curved panel.

Yes Crown,I'll give a nod to Crown, specifically their XLS 1502 amp. Based on their website it seems intended for PA use, the claimed 300 watts per channel does appear to do so at higher distortion per Crown's specs (0.5 THD, no frequency given). That said, the thing has never failed to just work, no quirks. When I'm in the mood for something like "Mad Max Fury Road" it makes me smile.
I don't know they never make a bad unit. Some recording interfaces have some bothersome gotchas. Some of their motorcycles have too. But in general they are a solid no BS company making good stuff.I don't think Yamaha has ever produced a bad unit. Can't dislike a company that not only makes motorcycles, grand pianos and hifi gear, but actually does all of it well.
