I'm still torn, I want to use OB but I'm trying to decide where I might put it.
I think I'll take a reign check on that until I decide what to do, thanks.
Haha it doesn't look like much, it's still wired up on the solderless breadboard.
No speakers. Just HD800 headphones and my amp/dac I designed.
My experience with speakers is extremely limited.
The HD800 are currently my reference for sound, it may not be the same thing as speakers but on good recordings I can convincingly believe the singer is in the room. The sound is extremely clean and soft and subtle and the tonality is realistic. But only with the amp/amp I designed which is why I am dead set on using it.
I want my speakers to be a speaker version of what I experience using the HD800 headphones.

I have not heard the Fane. I can well imagine that I will like it. Large transducers have a capability of creating music in a “full size” way in my experience. Even so the Fane is first and foremost a public address speaker, I don’t expect the same subtle tonalities as with your hd800.
Care to reveal the identity / design of the majikal amp of which you speak in post 40?
Please keep in mind that some of us are on weight loss diets to trim down from all the Kool-aid we've consumed during a lifetime (50yrs or more for some) in this hobby/addiction, and might need a bit more substantive data on which to confidently base recommendations.

after one of his other threads, I was thinking something like this
perhaps an altogether new relevatory class of amplification?
I've been very pleased with the Madisound BK-12m. It's an excellent speaker kit for the price, and a good introductions to DIY. I can also recommend any of the Planet 10 kits. While not quite as easy to assemble, they are of equal quality to Madisound. There is a Frugel Horn XL in my future some day.
Top secret sorry
I just 100% confirmed today that it is a giant killer after comparing it to a bunch of very expensive amplifiers. On top of the fact that I already knew it was better than anything I've heard on the market. I have spent the last few years designing this amp/dac so I can build an audio company. I am slowly building a loyal customer base from people that have heard my stuff in private showings but i need to reach out to some big fish soon. Hit me up at CanJam next year in NY, I expect to rent a booth there. In the mean time I am currently trying to figure out how to turn some golden eggs into a company I really hate to come across that way because I hate BS marketing but....the performance cannot be denied. The guy I showed my amp off to today in a private showing contracted me to build him my amp because his room full of expensive amps could not compete, same for the previous guy I went to. My biggest fear is getting ripped off after all my hard work and money I poured into it, many thousands of hours and many thousands of dollars. Otherwise I would love to share.after one of his other threads, I was thinking something like this

You might have seen me around.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Top secret sorry
Would still be very interesting to know with what speakers you have "heard" your amp? If it was just with headphones then I suggest you have a look at the headamp section - there are several very very CHEAP headamps that might compare and surprise with how good they sound.
