Maybe I should have said ‘with the amps I’ve experienced’... I’ve never needed monster wattage.
Where can I read up on TVC’s?

Re: Speakers
Try some Cubettes on the current system as they are on offer to promote, all you need is spare capacity on a credit card for a month, and then send them back. Then you will know if the Cube concept is in your plans. BTW P80 is pretty ancient so are they (with the A40s) aluminium case units from 25 ...

Re: Speakers
It’s old for sure, but not much to go wrong in there. Wires, an attenuator, and a switch. Just the way I like it. I’m planning to go for A60 or A80 monoblocks before the end of the year, and either a P50sa or P90sa Pre. I prefer the simplicity of a single volume control... but get the idea behind In...

Re: Passive preamp vs TVCs - please can you clarify ?
Such nonsense. I’ve had tonnes of amps and Pre amps. If you like the detail in the music, nothing is better than a quality passive Pre amp with quality attenuation. I’ve had lots of big name Pre amps, two best I ever had were my Mark Levinson Cello Passive Pre amp with stepped attenuator, and my NVA...

Re: Speakers

In my current abode, I only got a small listening room 12ftx12ft (10 ft to ceiling), and I’m only recently back into hifi after many a house move. Currently using NVA P80, A40, all NVA interco...

Re: Streaming- Naim Musical Fidelity etc
I stream music from my phone (Apple Music subscription) into my NVA based system. I use an old Apple TV 3 and a Topping D30 DAC. Sounds excellent. I have Apple Music set to stream in best quality, the Topping does an excellent job, and the quality is better than my SACD player. Apple TV 3 was £30 us...

Re: Best NVA Amps for Quad ESL57 Speakers
Try with a Leak Stereo 20. I’ve never liked the Quad 2 Monos. In fact, I’ve yet to find a Quad amp that I liked.
