    Re: The Boulder 866 Integrated Amplifier

    I'm looking at at jumping at the amp. I''m going to pair with bookshelf speakers because for that room I only have very little real estate.I have no real estate for stands I'm currently thinking Focal Diablo speakers. With covid I'm not able to demo as easily as before. Any recommendations on speakers?
