Sometimes the goodies come from quite different places.
Combine a Plinius 2100i integrated amp, coming from New Zealand with this gorgeous Greek loudspeaker, and for very little money you can put most hi-end systems to eternal shame. Too bad that no six stars rating is available

Heard almost to all brands of loudspeakers. Trying to choose. My selections where between ProAc tablette 50 (~1000$), ProAc 2.5 (~4000$), Vandersteen 2ce (~3500$), Audio-Spectrum Xanadu (~1400$).I think nothing surpass soundstaging of ProAc tablette 50 but then came love. I heard to the full musical sound, clear, attacking, and very good soundstaging of Audio-Spectrum Xanadu.
I bought it.
