I have already auditioned the MF M3i and it sounded a bit dry to me, not as musical or warm as the K2. Maybe it is my ears but it did not get my as excited as what I have, I could be wrong as that was my impression after spending about 2 hours with it
I will look into some of your other suggestions also
Any other suggestions?

Speakers are being upgraded to either monitor audio RX2 or GX100
Source is Oppo 105, DAC MF DAC1
Room is on the small size 3m x 3m and speakers are on stands about 25 cm from rear wall
Hope that the above is of some help

If you go GX100 route, consider Cyrus 8XP. I'm not a big Cyrus fan but the combo worked well to my ears. Try and search out Creek Evo2 which is a fabulous amp for the money and some... otherwise Cno's suggestions seem good.

The Dynaudio's would need to be placed farther from the rear wall. Also listened to the Spendor S2, but the one I enjoyed the best was the ProAc D18 but it is to much money for me....lol
I really was not planning on replacing the K2 amp unless it is with something in the same price range. If I step up to the Roksan M2 that will impact on my speaker budget

newbie80 said:I had listened to the Studio series it was the 110 and 115 i think but they did not hit me the way that the D18 did. As I said earlier my ears liked it but by wallet is not big enough
Reality is I just want to enjoy the music and the RX2's seemed good enough and the GX 100 was even better but dont really want to spend more than that.
