Just wondering.  I'd love to know what you guys pair with this little demon.

Mine are going to be driving Bastanis Prometheus speakers.

Panda,

These Bauls' speakers look quite nice.  Wish they provide more spec and info on them.  The turntable and prices don't look that bad either.  

I assume these are fairly efficient since you're using the SI amp.

They're pretty new on the market here, hence the lack of any good info on the site. And they're also sold in kit form, so not only do i have to wait for them to get here but I have to build them after that. They did get some nice press lately as a Stereophile writer called them the 2nd best of the recent Rocky Mountain HiFi show (pretty cool, as they were also about the least expensive speakers on display there). They are pretty efficient, around 100dB/W or so, plus they have no crossover between 100Hz and 10kHz and include two powered subs to handle the bass. I bought them blind (well, okay, deaf), but if they sound as good as I've heard they do I have a feeling you'll be hearing a lot about them in the near future.

I have one of Vinnie's amplifiers.  I switch back and forth between it and a 6sn7/26/45 amplifier.  With both of them I'm using a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls.

EPOS ESL-3 mini-monitors on my desk in a nearfield configuration, fed from my PC where I store uncompressed CDs, fed out to a Musical Fidelity A3/24 DAC, to a Headroom MAX headphone amp/preamp with a stepped attenuator -> Boulder tripath (when completed, for now a stock one) to the EPOS monitors.  Going to fit a sub in the chain somewhere.  ;)

Makes great music when I'm on the computer.
