Could you actually get $4,300 for near perfect LaScala II's with all original paperwork, etc? I mean I wouldn't sell mine for that at this juncture but would someone pay that on the secondary market?

Ha I'd say. 2 blacks and a cherry and all sorts of other stuff

I'd do that. I've got black or cherry. Now shipping...I'm in South Carolina

I had natural P39's and currently espresso P37s and a P312w. The natural looked a little "orangey" in my room at least. I really like the espresso. At a minimum someone pick up that P312. It really is a very nice sounding sub, awesome for music. It does an amazing job complimenting my LS2's. I'd love to find another one just to have stereo bass but honestly the way it fills in it just sounds like both LaScalas are playing. Not sure I'd really gain that much and certainly don't need the output. Someone get it.

I know the Marantz SA 8004 does not support gapless playback so maybe it's a Marantz thing

They're close to me but crap man I have too much already. Must resist. Without the frontal blemish I'm no sure I would have as much self control....

If you're fairly close to Raleigh or Charlotte, check out Audio Advice. I bought a VPI Prime Scout and the Grado from them. Great service. Who knows they make take the Denon in on trade.

Not looking to trade but I have a Grado Reference Sonata II. Not sure how it will match with your system but I really like the sound I get out of it.

I also throw a cast net off my boat for shrimp. You need to get down here and do that with me. I have a nice audio system in the boat so bring some music.

yeah but we get shrimp right off the boat

Why are all the deals so far away

Hey now I used to drool over the Panasonic system (with Thruster speakers) that they had on the end-cap display. Bad *** it was. They also carried the "higher end" Soundesigns that I longed for.....when I was 12

Shaun I've only used some Hifiman Planars with it so far and it has plenty of drive for them. I've used a Imac and a Mac Mini via the USB input, mostly with ripped CDs and streaming Tidal. I've also used it as dac feeding my Mcintosh integrated amp with the same computers. It sounds good like that as well.

I have one. Very nice unit and looks great too.
