[QUOTE="Skylar, post: 1154299, member: 17146"] You're most welcome to come listen when you are in Pretoria. A proper soundstage requires only two speakers, left and right. Most certainly not a centre speaker or fancy electronics to mimic a soundstage. As mentioned above, no electrickery needed. Just a preamp, main amp and speakers after your source. I also use a DAC, because my source is a laptop playing flac files. If there is a secret, then it's in the preamp and main amp. The fewer components the better. My main amp is a FirstWatt M2, built as dual mono. That means it's actually two monoblocks (separate amps) in one enclosure sharing a common power supply. By design, channel separation is excellent and absolute, and I think therein lies the "secret" if there is one. I would never trust an integrated amp, but there could be exceptions. [/QUOTE]
