I went with a friend who wanted to listen to some speakers, we wandered into a shop where we listened to a set of Dynaudio Contour 60i. The system sounded great, it leaned warm but not so much there was a loss of detail or lack of anything.
The speakers were driven by Sim Audio's Moon North 791 streaming preamp and 761 power amp. My opinion of Moon's sound in the past it was typically good but seemed a bit dry and something I wouldn't want in my system, not bad, just not my taste. The North on the other hand was quite nice and I could be happy with that set up. We also heard the same separates with a set of YG, I forget which model, they were about $30k. The North was equally impressive driving them.
The 791 preamp is $16k and the power amp $14k, 200x2 into 8 ohms 400 into 4 ohms. IMO the package offers some real value even at a total of $30k for the pair. I really enjoyed, their sound.
