Just a brain fart, the RME has both RCA and XLR outputs. I am using the XLR to the amp.

Even over a 300B amp?

You know, I had that very same thought. The audio dealers that sell the brand are difficult to locate.

What did you have before the Jolida amp?

This integrated amp has no digital inputs, so it wouldn't work for me unless I purchased their CD player. I don't use CDs. Thanks for the tip.

Although they would fit in my living room. They would be a little to large to look at.

The MA352 amp I have does sound pretty damn good. Nvidia has made me some extra pocket money that is itching to be spent. A while back I was certain I needed a different DAC. I borrowed a few big buck dacs from audio dealers but couldn't find any improvement over what I have. The RME. I did a firmware update on this DAC and it sounded better.

Like a 300B Amp from Western Electric?

My Klipschorns are powered by a McIntosh MA352, a 200watt per channel integrated amp. I am happy with the sound however I wonder if there is a better amp that is capable of a dramatic improvement in sound. My Khorns are modified so I can't just walk in a store and listen to something and expect the same sound. It's not that I am unhappy with the McIntosh, it sounds great but I am wondering if there is something better. Could be I have an itch to spend some money. Suggestions?

Nice pics, are the wheels optional?

I use the CT-120 tweeters and they are superior to the K77s and I've read that they have a better frequency range than the CT-125s.

Caps in the crossovers have a finite lifespan. From what I've read 10-15 years.

I'd have to disagree with you there. I have a set of extreme slope x-overs I bought from ALK and I am completely impressed. Prior to the extreme slopes I had a pair of Crites x-overs. They sounded ok but I was looking for better sound in the mid range, which required the extreme slopes and a few other components to be installed. I've spent many hours in front of these speakers and am still impressed.

Just 11,000 is all I need.

Love watching Adam Savage from Myth Busters do his thing. MeidasTouch comes in as a close second, for their legal analysis. After that anything to do with Cosmos, Science, Medical, Aviation. Sometimes Audio Gear but reviews are not subjective so what's the point?
