Music Preferences and Comments:

System Goals/Comments: A goal of low speaker distortion is taking me to multi-way high-efficiency solutions. Amps are almost getting audible at 100+ dB/W, led me to SET, which is so far disappointing, heading for dual differential SEM (SE MOSFET). I am happy with CD as a source.
