General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

(1) efficient speakers, (2) beefy amp, (3) preamp and sources

IMO, in decreasing order:
- high efficiency speakers... by far the most dynamic system I have ever heard has DIY speakers ~94-96db (see link below)

- amplifier power. I have owned and loved a 55w AKSA amp for several years. Recently, I built a 100w AKSA amp. The voicing of these two amps is essentially identical, but the 100w amp is significantly more dynamic and much more fun to listen to.

- power supply in preamp and source components... I have clearly heard differences here, but--beyond suggesting that the power supply capacitance be beefed up--I don't have any particular insight to offer.

Good luck,
Peter
