@krell303 Thanks for pointing out the brand - a free consultation would be great and totally agree on the WAF. Awesome find appreciate it.
@rick_n Another nice find thanks for that - totally agree on the WAF for this as well!
@alexatpos I appreciate you taking the time to compose that post - it definitely helps me understand the product lines in terms of chronology and potential quality as compared to one another. Very helpful since there have been so many lines over the years, and being new to the brand myself, sorting through pieces when they have become available on the used market has been difficult in terms of ranking potential value and quality relative to one another. Interesting regarding the SFs as well - good to have more options from the same family more or less to choose from.
@ghdprentice Thanks for jumping back in. I'm definitely not a headbanger (anymore) - my tastes are in blues, jazz, 70s and 80s, Floyd, Dead, singer songwriter, reggae, 40s-50s vocals, CSN, Radiohead, Talking Heads, female vocals, eclectic along those lines. No loud metal, rap, opera, country, very little classical. And you're definitely not out on a limb just curious to get your guess having heard the i-50 pairing. Otherwise I'm just searching the internet for random reviews and opinions. Hearing that you have a PrimaLuna in your office makes the guess even more educated. So your summation makes a lot of sense to me in regard to the low risk move and its place in the upgrade cycle. A very helpful post. If I start now and make wise moves in this and future upgrade cycles maybe my system can look like yours at the end of the day. Wow!
