Joe - Some interesting observations. I didn't know about Burmester's new B30. I will stop by my local dealer and take a listen when I get a chance. I have heard the Soulution electronics and the Magico M5's, but not together. It must have been glorious. If I sell my house, I could (possibly) afford it. Wadia's 170iTransport is an interesting product, though I couldn't see myself ever buying one, even though I have 2 iPods. I was interested to hear about the Monitor Audio PL200. I have not had a chance to hear that line from MA, but I'm not that surprised by your reaction, as I have never been a big fan of their products. Thanks for the update.
BTW, have you made a decision about what new speakers you are going with?
