Its a vicious circle this one. When one starts looking whats out there one finds all manner of things. I was originally looking at a NAD level pre/power system but Ive decided to stretch the budget somewhat.
Ive not heard it in the flesh yet, but from reviews with relation to the price bracket (and visual styling I can live with) the AudioLab is looking like a fine system.
Does anyone have or have experienced or have any comments on a config as below?:
8000CD source 8000Q preamp 2 x 8000M monoblocks
The source seems to have some of the best reviews around and I can find anything too negative on the amps. Besides speakers considerations et al I was thinking along these lines as the basis for a new system.
