Thanks for the picture.

What is NSD CSI?

Interesting DAC and amp. I do not see or hear much about either.

I am curious about what prompted you to order the amp you are waiting for. No right or wrong choice, but I am interested in one’s decision making process when choosing between the different options.

NSD CSI.    My apologies.  I really need to get more sleep than I am getting.  It is a "NAD" Model Number CS1 (Compact Streamer 1).  Small form factor, with a RJ45 for dedicated network connections.  I stream 100% at this point.  The rest of the system. The other purchases, I wish I could say were all very well-informed.  Far from it. I am new to audio. Brand new. I've been in it for about 5-6 years. Only 3 years with decent equipment that works. I have always loved tube gear, and would like to have a second system built around a Decware amp. As far as speakers for a Decware amp, I need to make that decision in the 6 months or so.  My budget for speakers is about $4K. It's been trial and error ever step of the way.  Thank you for your questions. They got me thinking about things.  VR, Rob.  Please give me your thoughts one speakers for Decware tube amps.

I think room size, volume listening level, the type of speakers that draw your attention, and budget will define your options. You already have Klipsch Heresy IV. Do you want to stay in the Klipsch Heritage family?

Are you drawn to single driver speakers as a different flavor like Omega Speakers, Lii Song, and others? Decware has some great speakers that work well with your soon to be built amp. The Decware Monitors (DM945) would be on my short list. Hard to find an 8” woofer and ribbon tweeter at a decent price. Most bookshelf speakers seem to max at 6.5” these days.

ZU Audio and Tekton Design speakers are another interesting design choice.
