Hey Steve, nice pick up.
Can’t go wrong at the price and the trial period, etc.
My main speakers are PMC PB1is. I’ve currently driving them with a Muscial Fidelity TriVista integrated, but I recently purchased some Bryston 7BST monoblocks (currently undergoing updating under warranty). Although the Musical Fidelity is very nice, Bryston and PMC are made for each other. We shall see. I will use the Brystons with Joule Electra and/or EE Avant tube preamp(s). NOS tubes of course ;). I’m using a Cambridge Audio CXC transport and a Wyred4Sound DAC2DSD (Furutech fuse). I also have a Clearaudio Ambient Solo Wood turntable, but I find I don’t use it much at all (pretty limited vinyl collection). Cables are Chimera Labs, MusicMetre, Harmonic Technology, power cords are TG Audio, TekLine Silver, ElectraGlide and Acrolink/Oyaide DIY. Speaker cables are TG Audio, Cabledyne and Clear Day.
My next purchase will be a streaming player (looking for suggestions) and a Tidal subscription.
Didn’t feel that I "needed" subs (in fact I had just sold my much lower power/smaller) subs locally. But I missed some of the benefits that subs provide when they energize the room and create the sense of filling out the soundstage at all frequencies. And I believe they will be great for both music and movies.
I am about 95% two channel audio/5% movies, but with 2 Bryston 7BST 500 watt monoblocks and two 1,000 watt 13" subs in my near future, I’m feeling a little bit of that Tool-Time Tim Allen gorilla grunt - ooo ooo ooo. :D Peace.
