Hey Rainchild,
I've heard wonderful things about the McCormack DNA-1 and the fact that the amp can be upgraded by Steve McCormack himself, is something to consider. This amp is supposed to be very good and I've heard people rave about them even more after they have them upgraded. I do agree with Jbello, trust your ears. The best way to evaluate them is in your own system, but if you can't, try them in the shops and take all the variables into consideration when making your decision.......John
