regarding the Audionet, now the price is not so high, I mean from second-hand and for run out models, but sure, still out of my price range...at this moment I can't buy any amp for more than 1000 €. Anyway, audionet products have a very high evaluations...at local forums or tests.
I live in small country Slovakia (not Slovenia :- )

Oh ok...Dont think tubes cant rock...because I have heard tubes rock. What you need is a hybrid amp. Those will rock as much as you need. How much is 1000 € in USD? You may need tubes...you have the old tweeter in your Vento 807 DC's which had a livelier tweeter than mine. Tubes would sound good with those speakers. Your speakers where released in 2005 at $3500 a pair. You would do good to get a better amp than the NAD which retails for 749.

Slavakia....wow that a long way from me. I bet you have some good audio shops there?

that's fine, they can rock, and sounds interesting about hybrids, I might consider that. I have one experience with Classe CAP 151 and Classe CD/DVD-1 and the sound was very smooth and very mellow, I lacked the dynamic, but detailed and controlled. I thought the reason is the amplifier, but later on found the big part of that sound is CD/DVD.
So I might ask friend to lend me his amp. again or one other friend has Classe 2100 integrated, I plan to demo my ventos with this amp., then I will really see, but you are totally right, my NAD's are not that quality partners (except of NAD masters).

I reconsidered the price mentioned before, pity, I can handle only with about 800eur, what is aprox. 1000$.

We have some shops and there are more in neighbor country Checz republic, but sometimes it's quite far for me to travel and you know they always pair Denons, Onkyo or Yamahas with Cantons...

Classe is a warm amp. But I don't think it lacks dynamic. You may want to speak to GlenB. He has Classe and likes them very much. As with all gear system matching is very important. But I would think the Vento you have would be good with Classe amps...the Classe Ca 200 which can be had now for about $1000-1500 should be a very good match for your speakers. I too looked at Classe, but decided on a hybrid amp.

Canton in general is the closest thing I've heard in a box speaker approach the openness of a planar. The new Vento is quite improved from prior models I've heard. Instruments are well defined and have a presence like you are there.

Hi frenchmon, pls, recommend some music/albums, which sound great through you Cantons ...

Everything...classics, Jazz, R&B, Blues, Trance....everything I've thrown at them sounds great..

Forgot you had those Cantons frenchmon. Lookin' really sharp.
