Thank you all for contributing to this discussion.
Gonzp, i love your Almarro amp by the way (wink)..
So the feeling I got is that I should just go for "the big one" - namely La Scala.
I shall decide soon and meanwhile "Operation Charm Offensive" on my girlfriend begins - im telling you guys, she would pretend to fall asleep (while watching tv, driving or cutting onion) when asked to go to Tweeters with me "just for fun" - it was like pulling teeth out of a healthy, wild elephant without the aid of ketamine.
again, thank you all for writing, keep it coming!
