    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Uh yeah... I'm also looking for amps/integrated for the Diamonds. Someone here has some pass labs to sell so I'm thinking -

    As of right now, shipped from the classe dealer. Still has 3 years warranty left over. Looks pristine and sounds pristine.

    Was from an owner that drove the 800 diamonds, elderly guy so we are thinking it wasn't used much.

    I am hopeful this pushes the system in the right direction. Next up, a quick break . And then maybe power regeneration P10 psaudio.

    Hot damn Joey, those are sweet. You really have hit the Heavy Hitter status.

    Those the Strads, the Diamonds, the Cary are just outstanding looking works of art!!!!!!

    I agree. I just got back from work.

    My wife and baby were upstairs playing in the gameroom so I went up. After I played, we opened up the media room and I just stared at the strads.

    Caressed the leather. Dusted the drivers.

    Oh wait... That was inappropriate.

    Meanwhile the kid ran around with the strads accessories on hand... With drool.

    Poor strads

    Classé makes a solid amp. You should pair your B&Ws with them.

    Yep, I've paired the M600 with the BW. Dynamic contrasts are better, but Cary 211FE beats it in vocals and "realism"...

    I would like something with both.
