I have Bel Canto 845 tube based SET .- 40W. It sounds thick and slow like molasses on regular monkey coffin (supposedly tube friendly) direct radiating speakers. I thought, well it is what it is. Then I had a chance to hook it up to pretty decent true 100dB horn system and it was a transformation. A lightning fast, energetic sound Naim can only dream of.
Most boring equipment is made by great engineers with boring character and one dimensional personality no woman would fck if not for the "secure future" promise
