@snovosel - thanks for sharing your experiences regarding the amps! As to your comment: "One more note I thought I should share (although I wish there was a way for me to display photos of my listening space because then this explanation would be clearer to anyone reading it)" The system pages on Audiogon are the best way to share pictures and thoughts on your system. I totally believe "a picture is worth a thousand words." I've been trying to get people to use the system pages for years. It's a little bit of work but it's worth it!
@jbomber - nice series of speakers you've had over the years! What brand are the 845 monoblocks you are using with the DIs? What does the rest of your system consist of?
