Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire: What are the best Amp and speaker combinations you've ever heard?

[Musicfirst]

Happy new year all!
I was wondering what amplifier/speaker combinations impressed the most?

One of the best for me was the Sonus Faber Extremas driven by Jadis JA200s.

I have others to list:skeptical:, but though I'd start with this classic pairing..

Avantgarde with VAC
HEGEL with Harbeth
Fyne with Pass
Naim with almost anything
Magico with Constellation

The famed Dancing House in Prague - originally named Fred and Ginger Building.

Very impressed by the combination of Rockport Lyra and Doshi Amps (better than Magico Q7 and Constellation to my ears).

My Avantgarde Duos and Cary 2A3 Signature mono SET amps from 17 years ago are still very nice.

Hi Larry,

I always wanted a nice 2A3 amp. I bet it sounds great.

Very good combinations have been mentioned already.
The MBL-system is glorious.

On a bit lower level, but stiill excellent: Hegel + Vivid.
Have heard quite a lot of Vivids now, driven by Hegel, and it was always a very pleasant marriage.

Martin Logan-Clayton (my current setup!)
Ariel-ARC (wouldn’t have thought a stereo tube amp could make 20Ts sing like that!)
