I just purchased a new stereo setup today after a lengthy demo:  McIntosh MA8900 integrated amp, Sonus Faber Olympica Nova Vs, and a Roon Nucleus + streamer.  Very stoked on getting this order in and setup in our living room!
@bigtex22 Awesome - enjoy!.  Those speakers are wonderful and I grin every time I turn on my Mc stuff!

@bigtex22 I love SF Speakers and have the Olympica Nova II's and love them.

I am not a MAC hater have owned a couple of their Integrated and they never stay around for long though. Last was the 252 and could not wait to get rid of it.

Just out of curiosity, what are "today's standards"?
