Meh, Receivers are for the weak eared folk

Solid State Reference Amps FTW :cool:

Can't beat it... 200 x 2 @ 8ohm RMS, .002% THD, 10hz-100khz @ 8ohm 50% power .000%THD, 124db SNR and you really can't touch the dynamic headroom which I should really test sometime. **That's my Yamaha M-70, it powers my mains**

But for high quality recievers, I can't say much can touch a high end pioneer elite, short of a top tier Yamaha, Denon or Onkyo.
Don't know if Marantz is still in the game really.

Thanks for the info on the 280's... I was looking at a few other sets too, I just know I love all the other Senns I have owned.

freaksavior · Mar 16, 2009

integra are great receiers too

made by onkyo. i wanted a 3809 denon but it was to much for me at the time. not a huge yamaha fan tbh but they are good.

I want to thank you for sharing. I would thank you in person but I doubt that you could hear me

Ya, I'm not the biggest fan of Yamaha receivers myself, you pay a pretty hefty premium still based on their great name from the '70s and '80s.

Random Murderer · Mar 16, 2009

the source:

that is a DAC designed by me.

Millennium · Jan 9, 2013

My setup is good! (400th post!

)

Triangle COMETE Ex speakers, with a massive crossover and bracing upgrade inside:

Amp is a valve amp - Yaqin M10-L with upgraded tubes. Didn't get a good pic myself but it's this one:

DAC is a Micromega MyDAC, a newish DAC but apparently beats most comparatively priced DACs... (also good power and phono cables):

Finally my power and speaker cables. The toffee is for size comparison

I also have one of these BK XLS200 DF subs hooked up to the amp:

(that driver is 10" wide)

Let's see yours... I see a couple of really nice ones already at least!

Yeah, I remember there was a period of six to nine months when you were like "screw TPU" and left, but inevitably come back. We all do. TPU is like Hotel California, you can never leave. :laugh:

Yamaha RX-V371

Jamo S 426 HCS 3 & SUB 210

Total price paid $477. Would have been about $417 had I waited a couple weeks for a price drop on the AVR. The surrounds are not as small as they look in the pic. They actually have the same size mids as the center.
