works very well with the 1266 if you are into that, but otherwise yes. Although you could also swap the raal for a mysphere and that would work with the mass kobo pretty well lol
Not sure, at the used price that would likely be better, but I bet sub 1k new for a speaker amp the jot would still be a better pick. But 2k ish used can get you quite a lot
Sure, but knowing that amp I could likely kiss goodbye any sense of stage it had left lol, and also limit microdynamics among other things, but it would still be better than the jot for sure (but I’m just a hater lol, although I dislike that amp for a reason)
You can get better at that price range. Also if you really want slam I wouldn’t go for a susvara anyways imo, there’s better for that. IMO the d8kp and dv2 can hit harder than the sus can if you try and prioritize that (the sus wasn’t made for raw slam though, so personally I don’t think it’s a problem. If you want true slam from hifiman, go find an he6 lol)
For the lcd I’d personally look for used krell, pass/threshold, parasound halo, hegel, classe, bryston, and others that are less common. At least I’d assume those would pair well in different ways, should be able to find models from all of them below 2-3k used
If you like the raal, and you like the lcd r presentation, I have a feeling the 1266 might be really worth a look before the susvara (although susvara is also worth a look too lol)
