Audiophiles hifi appreciation thread old and new

CXA61's have just had a huge price cut in the U.S. from the outrageous $1099 to $599, so I'll probably wait for those to come back into stock/wait for one to pop up on Cambridge Audio's refurb eBay site and snap that up. I ordered an AXR85 but cancelled my order due to yet more indecision.

Said that a week ago. But thought they'd sold out everywhere. Smaller brick and mortar stores have terrible SEO though, so they never come up in search results. I managed to find one accidentally by looking at Vivid Audio stockists. Was curious as to how ridiculous expensive their speakers were and a stockist came up in the Bay Area. Turns out they also stocked CA and had two CXA61s left in stock at $599. Was a no brainer at that price. My first ever amp was a CA Topaz something, and my favorite ever amp was a CA Minx Xi. Natural progression.
