High-amp, the hunt never ceases. It just goes from vicarious to serious sometimes.
With regard to active speakers, have you spent any time with GoldenEar Tritons? The day I spent about 1.5 hours of seat-time with the ML Motion 60XTi, I actually A/B'd them with the GoldenEar Triton+2 and spent about the same amount of seat-time with them, as well. Unfortunately, the sound room I was in wasn't the greatest and the GE only had, I was told, around 20 hours play on them. The ML, I was told, had about 40 hours play. Power source was a Simaudio Moon 340 IX. You might want to give the GE Triton line a listen if you can find a shop with properly broken-in pairs and a proper sound room.
