I never thought of the EAR as warm, but on plugging in the Bel Canto I recognised that it was. ![]() In the last few years I moved from an EAR864, which I enjoyed greatly but had no remote volume control, to a Bel Canto Pre3vb and then to the Modwright. The EAR868 looks very stylish in the all silver livery, leaving the gold knob bling behind.
