MB100s are indeed great. GLWS.

Likewise, recommended buyer, great to deal with.

SSTP

Just over 1 year old, barely used by my son. Comes with charger. Factory reset. There are a few tiny scratches to the plastic on the corners of the unit but nothing that impacts use. Full working order. No original packaging but it will be well packed. £100 delivered to the UK.

Dynaudio xeo?

Squeezebox Touch then Chrome cast audio. Chord Hugo then Audiolab MDac. Bye bye cd Nain CD players, preamp and power supplies. Teddy Pardo mono blocks.

The Arcs do look a bit like swing bins :-) Because they're not very tall and radiate sound upwards, you can hide them behind furniture to some degree and still get decent sound out of them. Then they're pretty easy to move to the correct location when you want a serious listen. That might make...

How are you getting on with the Arcs? Interesting to hear about your experience with vinyl. I’ve used them exclusively with digital. DAC as pre amplifier so very clean.

Are you looking for a speaker that works well close to rear walls OP? I think you might get away with 10cm with the alphas although I had them about 25 cm out. There are other options if you're looking for boundary placement and are happy to have something taller than 45cm.

Hi I have no experience of Proac speakers but as my name suggests I ran a pair of the Iota Alphas for several years. I'd recommend you read the stereophile review which I think is fair. The reviewer likes the fact you can get 'big, fun' sound from a tiny speaker which is happy near the walls...

Regarding placement away from walls and bass boom, IME that's room-dependent. I originally ran the arcs in a much smaller room than I do now and the bass could boom at times when too close to the rear wall. In my current larger room the bass seems very much tighter when just as close to the...

I drive mine with Teddy Pardo MB100s and have had no problems filling a large room with sound. I think there are plenty of good amp options. Enjoy.

Sounds like you're saying that: tuner -> amp is fine transport -> dac -> amp (on any input, with more than one cable pair) gives white noise. If so then the issue must be with the transport or dac. Try a different source with the dac, or else the transport again with the Auralic Altair G1 as a...

Yeah that is a problem on eBay, but part of the reason is that sellers are paying eBay and PayPal fees as well as running a risk of scammers and so price accordingly.
