Sorry for the delay....some travel and of course the long drawn out "burn in" process. My Galileo is driving the PowerCell 12SE with all the front end components and with that 32 amp connector no way to run it in on the Audiodharma cooker....Lord I hate that process! Being an impatient type A I also installed SR Blue Duplex's all around, although I did run those in by installing in spots around the house that see close to a constant draw. Long and short....the Galileo (and said duplex's) now have 300 plus hours on them and I am absolutely delighted! While the Atmosphere Level 3 on the PowerCell was exceptionally good, dead quiet, great separation, air and focus, holographic and 3D....the Galileo is something else altogether! While it certainly has the above description in spades, it is WAY more holographic, every instrument and vocal is meatier and more 3D giving the sound more presence. Everything is just smoother and more musical and it is more volumetric and I don't mean louder...the music seems to fill the space more. This was a first rate upgrade!
Thanks all.
