nzdans Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) Hi all, hoping for a bit of feedback here as I've recently picked up a lovely SA-103 from another member. Not long ago I also purchased some Audio Physic Avanti IIIs here. Despite the amazing ability of these speakers they never came to life, until I introduced the Plinius. Previously I was using a Primare i30, which is now performing preamp duties. Sound wise I'd like a bit more body to (male) vocals/midrange and a touch more warmth. Some extra bass presence wouldn't go astray, but hey, they're still making subwoofers. Otherwise the sound and imaging is excellent. I suspect some Iso Acoustics Gaia II feet may help my speakers a little (anyone have any they don't need?). My listening room has a wooden floor. I'm intrigued by tubes, amps with optional "colours" eg Schiit's Freya and maybe an inbuilt streamer for Roon. Dual pre-outs at least are required (for sub) and according to the Plinius manual at least one should be balanced. My budget for a pre wouldn't extend much past $4k. There's only only a couple of HiFi shops in the ACT, not sure if they both do at home demos. Prima Luna is one local option. Any experience/feedback appreciated. Cheers.
