Quote:   Nothing strange about it :)   83db is a power guzzler, terribly inefficient. It's a standard sensitivity of the BBC monitor design. Even the new harbeth one is 83db.   The nuforce shouldnt be paired to something below 88db. Even 88db is at the limits of what I feel the...

Wow this makes me breathe a little easier about moving to NZ next year. I thought there wasn't much of an audiophile population there who came online.   I'm going to wellington next year for my masters and having to leave behind my setup here at home. But I look forward to discovering new...
