fyi, Here is cool pic. I have the new James Gang SACD cranked on the song "Bomber" as high as my ears can stand it. You can see the meter on the C2300. BTW, that remastered SACD sounds like it was recorded yesterday. it is outstanding, and the bass is fantastic. There is not a ripple or even the slightest movement in that glass of water. W/P 8 with GAIA I footer on a hardwood floor on top of a cement foundation. I feel lots of punch with those 2 Mc275s.
