I just looked at the specs on the Yvette: with a 10” woofer, 86db sensitivity and impedance that dips to under 3 ohm, I don’t think the Twin would be a great match, or an upgrade from your Classe. Solos might be good, but I’d want to audition them first if possible.

Re the Klimax DAC, keep in mind it’s also a streamer. The DS is streamer/DAC only, the DSM has inputs to also serve as a preamp. I have the Klimax DSM with their Katalyst upgrade to the DAC - if you can swing it, that’s the way to go.

I see you’re in Kirkland, are you working with Definitive? The shop in Seattle actually took my Twin in trade a couple of months ago.
