Is D for Dry? Class D...

@bondmanp Are you using the Arion S-500 or the HS-500? I went to their website and can't see the difference in specs between them. Also, what kind of pre-amp are you pairing with them?

Class D is a flavor I have yet to sample.  I’m still in the dinosaur Class A camp. Someday I’ll try Class D.

   Will search for a close dealer, I love auditioning audio gear. 
      Bring in my own music, etc, and press play, sit back and sip my flask while listening.  I will be looking for a dealer!,!

    Thanks for the words!   

My Marantz PM10 sounds pretty good compared to the Luxman I had before. The Luxman was a bit warmer, but the Marantz has a more powerful bass, bigger, deeper soundstage, more revealing.

If you like the M1200s (and can afford $6K), Ric (EVS) says he can mod them up for you, but if you don't need big power Underwood HiFi might actually be FINALLY introducing the Voyager GaN amp or ...

FYI the have a 15 day return policy but buyer pays shipping both ways, which, due to size and weight is minimal
