May be a picture of you....? I think you have a very nice husband who doesn't mind you have this expensive hobby. Actually I was curious about your system because I own Marten Coltranes fed by Hovland HP200/Stratos amps.
The Marten Coltrane Supremes include an amp for the base towers in a special confugiration, which requires an extra ic. If you knew, for sure you would mention this. Also digital Odin cables don't exist. Oh oh, you little liar....
How did you excactly configure the speaker cables from the amp to the speakers? And are you using balanced ic's and how much Odin ic's you have in total?
