Canton & Rotel

Forums

I'm looking to upgrade my amp(2 ch.Onkyo reciever), and I'm strongly considering the Rotel RB-1080, 200W power amp.; I would probably get the Rotel Pre Amp to go with it.
My question is, would it be foolish to pair this amp, with a $2400 pair of Canton, Karat 707 speakers? They are floorstanding, 3 way, using an 8" passive woofer.
Do these speakers deserve a better quality amp?

need audiophile w experience setting up wireless music servers - LA area

if you are on the cutting edge of both audiophile sound and wireless networking, i'd love to hire you to finish a long project i've had to set up a wireless iTunes server (running windows not mac unfortunately) in my house. I'm in Laurel Canyon on the far Hollywood side. I've had help on both the computer side and the audio side, but it would be nice if i could find someone who specialized in both.

I'm looking forward to the new Bill Callahan album, <i>Woke On A Whaleheart</i>, not only because I have this aching feeling that it's going to be a beautiful piece of work, one that I can relate to and fall in love with, but also because I think it's going to offer excellent sound quality, and I just can't wait to hear it on the hi-fi. This is interesting to me because I never looked forward to an album for its sound quality before. Even when reading our own <i>Stereophile</i> record reviews, I've paid little attention to the number of stars placed besides the "Sonics" heading, except to make sure they're the right size and font.
