  1. Thanks guys for both of your input, as I've just said i have put a post up in the WTB section, I'm now looking for a Primare I32, or a Tubed Freya, if i get the Primare thats that, well obviously not for ever... if i get the Tubed Freya i will intergrate it with my current amp even though not ideal i like the idea of hearing some minor details and will be on the hunt straight away for 2 channel power amp. if i get offers of anything else ill be sure to post it in here to get your opinions. if neither happen i will also look into other avenues as both of you have suggested something else. my budget is $2k though can be swayed if its something really special.. Thanks Again Vincent
  2. Thanks Wen for your recommendation. I've put a post in the WTB section for a primare or a tubed freya, the Bladeluis is very much on my Radar i just want to broaden my horizons and see whats out there.
  3. Well said, that just maybe the case when i get my new amp... hahaha I think you are right they do sound better when they are cranked, and they are in the biggest room of the house. funny you say that when i listen in front of them they arent "that" loud but when i go to take the bins out i can hear them down the street..... strange! Ideally iI'd like to try an amp, but im also well aware that may not happen, I'm ok with that too. Cheers for your input
  4. Item: Either The Primare I32 intergrated Amp Or the Schiit Tubed Freya Price Range: Market Price as per Previous SNA Sales Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: I Figure I'd Roll the Dice, depending on what i can get my hands on is which path ill take. I';m Also open to offers of maybe something similiar but ideally one of the 2 I'm looking for. Thanks Please don't forget to report your post as FOUND when possible. (You can now delete this text).
  5. Thanks Wimbo i was aware of this, in the process of mulling things over in my head.
  6. Duly Noted! I have seen that list while browsing!! ill pay closer attention. Thanks for the recommendations.
  7. Volume is more than fine. It's the clarity I'm after (I think), I did hear some dynaudio bookshelves at a members house when I was picking up something from the classifieds they packed a big punch and sounded like I could hear a lot more, for me it's the hardest to try and articulate what I heard, I know it was much better and gave me a feeling I was there with the music. Not just sounded better but felt better. I think also "separation of instruments" ( I think that's what u call it) too is lacking not just any one thing though. Walking away that day changed me. Lol The Amp I got for $500ish around 5 years ago as an impulse buy, I think it was ex demo, and over 50% off and they guy talked me into it (I had a pair of castle knight 2's at the time) which he said it was perfect for. Everything else has been purchased from here. The speakers I got cos I saw them and fell in love with just how they looked (stupid I know) and they were so much cheaper than what they were brand new I thought surely must be a bargain! I've always dreamed of having floor standers too. I didn't put a whole lot or research in I must admit but I feel I've come a long way in the last year. Listening levels? Is this volume or distance? Room setup is quite confined, speakers are about 2m apart (tv in between) and I sit in the centre about 3m away. Both speakers directed at me. Thanks for the questions.
  8. agreed! any pointers? I'm aware its a great community here is it worth putting up a post in the WTB section with my budget in search of an amp? see what comes in.. I've bought a few of my components via the forums except the amp, id only ever buy from here now. I've listened to a few systems at various stores nothing remotely similar to my system though.. Thanks again for your input.. Vincent
  9. Thanks for your prompt reply Dan, watching the video as we speak. I will 100% focus on an amp now..
  10. System as current Pioneer A 50 k Wharfdale Reva 4 Schiit Modi multibit Arcam CD92 Fiio M11 - audioquest cinnamon rca to 3.5mm Bills Cables - Interconnects Van De Hul CS122 Speaker Cables I think the 1st upgrade will be the Amp, I've been keeping my eyes peeled in the Classifieds, is there any particular brands i should be looking out for? or Wattage? Im also really keen on a schiit freya with tubes, will this intergrate well with my amp? (it does have an option to be just a power amp) or am i just being stupid. Theres only so much research i can do, with out knowing the right questions to ask. So from my system above if anyone can point anything out that may improve my system or suggest something i may be missing or any ideas at all really, i would very much appreciate any input. Thanks. Vince
  11. Can I take the solid silver rca cable of it still available please.
