It took me more than a year, but I finally got a copy at a fair price... not the usual $600+ they ask for.

One call has them... 1499. I have seen a couple come up used also... about that same price,they never sell.

Ive been looking at them. I want one but I am having difficulty getting past the msrp.... even at the street price. I'd probably be a buyer, used of course, at $999 or so.

More outlets...

Looks like an amazing deal to me...

Denon X2000

easy to find them... how about you just post the item numbers...

The seven review seems fairly positive and on target... and he did get the color of the woofers correct. No holds barred power and clarity without a hint, in the review, of fatique or brashness

Ah... your the guy with the single belle. I'd love to have that.

conventional or tankless?

Arent they the same... denon marantz? I can ALWAYS recommend Marantz.

Not bad for a four year old thread eh?

to bad... I just sold my SC35 for $350.

we might as well add Astell Kern

For an audio system, if a person has calibrated their ears using live music, they will not necessarily need to try a lot of different systems (and make perceived upward moves or perceived lateral moves) to know what they ultimately want. Depending upon the goal, the perspective will come from the calibrated ears. I cant agree with this in totality... how many good sounding live music events have you seen? I think I have seen as many bad sound events somewhere in equal amounts as to bad sounding home sounds systems.

Whats a ground loop?

that sounds like a great se up/combination... its to bad you have to sell them.

thad went from grizzlyman to bedhead

search in series and in parallel...

I am sure I will be using higher end USB connection or IIS (I2S)

perhaps the act of "trying new things" to experience those differences is actually part of the entire experience because in all honesty, there is no right or wrong... just personal taste.

I think there is something important to be said for having perspective... in that way you can really judge the value of, or the quality of, what it is you are involved in. How do we get perspective? by trial and error, by experiencing difference, by building up "seat time". I think a person that comes in and buys a vintage pair of 901's might say to themselves, "my god those are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard"... then give them a listen of some heritage and they gain some perspective irrespectful of the whether or not they personally like the heritage sound. The old adage, Travel broadens the mind applies here. I think when I first started this thread, my main concern was... when can we judge when enough is enough in terms of acquisitions and modifications when really, for me personally, the hobby is not about buying, finding deals or synergistic compromise and interplay of components but one of "Listening" to music.

in for server answers... I think I want to start ripping all my personal music to lossless format and stream/wire connect to my DAC

those look like they would be great rears to match a Cornwall front for 5.1
