My elder brother uses a simple 7500/- bucks DNM amplifier purchased in 2008. He uses my TQWT speakers with the Russian driver with this amplifier. He plays spotify from laptop connected to a 6000/- bucks amazon basic DAC. It can easily beat any 10L+ setup for the sound stage and dynamics. Anybody dare to take the challenge are welcome
