Frankpiet:
Sorry for not responding quickly. I haven't checked the thread in awhile.
I am very satisfied with the 1010. It replaced a Jeff Rowland Coherence II. I felt that it had much more transparency and was significantly more dynamic. You give up some of the warmth of the Rowland but the complete neutrality of the Boulder more than satisfies me. It was a tradeoff I was more than willing to make. By the way, this is not to say that I find the Boulder to be cold sounding. It is extremely involving. I suspect that unless a 2010 fell into my lap I'm satisfied for quite awhile. I have not had an opportunity to hear the Boulder 810 - I have read great things about it.
I just replaced my Classe CA-M400 monoblocks with a Boulder 2060. I'll report on it soon.
