Hi Fi + seems to have turned into a bit of a R3A shop of late: Editor Roy Gregory is using the (new) De Capo i's (although he doesn't identify them as such--they may be marketed differently in UK) with everything he reviews, as well as the Living Voice Avatar OBX's. This issue he's reviewed several low- to mid- powered amps that I'm sure would be great choices (like that beautiful Tom Evans Soul amp), although they're stratospheric in price (the Soul weighs in at 8000 pounds sterling, and the other amps in the same neighborhood). He often refers to the i's in other speaker reviews, as well.
Anyway, if anyone is shopping for amps in this price range, something to keep in mind. He reviews more affordable equipment as well, but seemingly not as often...
Scott Markwell, from TAS, is also writing a column for Hi Fi +; his reference speakers include the Royal Virtuoso, as well as some very high efficiency single-driver models.
