I think I've probably heard enough of the usual by now (by the usual I mean solid state amps with 2-way narrow baffle speakers). Though there is plenty of variation within that group and for sure I'd love to hear some more (like a properly set up Naim system, for example - I heard one once, but not long enough to form a real impression). LFD is another line of amps I want to hear. Totem speakers too.

But I can live without that, I think. What I'm really eager to try out next are tubes and electrostatic speakers. Next year I'm going to check out a pair of Martin Logans, since my dealer just added the line. And perhaps a Prima Luna tube amp. By the way, I'm not implying that tubes can power ML speakers sufficiently. Perhaps they cannot. I'm not looking to buy any time soon. Maybe in five years time. But it's definitely time to hear what all the fuss is about. Actually, if there is one tube amp that's really caught my eye it's the Audio Research VSi60.
