tony g,
Welcome to the ML Club!!!
I have been considering the, Sunfire Cinema Signature Grand 400~seven, for some time now. I have read, some excellent reviews regarding, the Sunfire Theater Grand IV, as well as, Cary Audio, Simaudio, Jeff Rolland audio, and Musical Fildelity pocessor's. They all seem to have been reviewed very well, on line.
I plan, on using my, Pioneer VSX-59TXi, as the processor, for my system, so I'm looking at adding an amplifier (form the above listed companies). I am also, concidering, Sunfire's - Vacuum Tube Controller or the Conrad Johnson's tubed pre-amp too. As I am interested in adding tubes to the path, for a sweeter sound for stereo music listening.
I must say, I have been very impressed with Simaudio lately. Especially, the "Moon Titian" amplifier. Also, Balanced Audio Technology's, HK-6200 amplifier seems to be totally awesome. The reason, I bring these to amplifiers up, and to your attention (in addition to the brands above), is that these companies also make, what looks to be, equally, awe inspirering processor's too... Myself, I hope to audition the amps., at sometime in the near future... I am just wondering, can afford it, or will I have to, sell my first born, to get it...
"Up-graditis" - is it all, worth it?... As, it is a disease, I am totally and completely, afflicted with...
Again, welcome, tony g
