my apologies- the concerto pre- was announced 1st. i'd still like to know, since it's a lot newer than the synergy, if the sonics are worse or better- that would be a big dilemma for synergy owners. i myself have m-12 amps which were "supposed" to be some of the best switching amps you could buy- and a lot less money than halcro and even linn. then, jrdg did a "180" with the 301's and 201's. the m-12's still sound phenomenal to me, even though i thought "they" were a little puny. if their girlie-man stuff gets any smaller they'll be competing with i-pods.
