Nord Purifi Class D amplifier. Still being built but should have it mid October. I don't expect it to exceed the SQ of my Rogue Stereo 90 or EAR/Yoshino 534 but hopefully it will at least get close and I'll be able to lift it without the danger of back spasms.

Actually happened this afternoon, sold my Krell K300i intergrated amp, and purchased the Luxman L-509x intergrated amp at a sweet price,  just got it home and I'm looking forward to the unboxing ceremony shortly......

Traded in my Bricasti M3 for a Bricasti M1se.  Great piece of equipment from a build quality and sound quality.

Got a pair of Audio Nirvana 8" neodymium coming in tomorrow. I like to experiment with drivers in different cabinets, and these will start out in a back loaded horn cabinet.  I may try them in a sealed enclosure, but the manufacturer doesn't recommend it. I have had three different models of this driver where one used a ferrite magnet and the other an ALNICO (it also had a whizzer cone). The third one was coaxial, and I  Did  Not  LIke  It.  Differences to be sure. This is what I like to do and won't be stopping anytime soon.
