That is the one. I have heard a lot of amps but I have never heard anything like that one. Yea, I know the Dart is pricey. But, I may have hookup in the future.

I have heard MBL at a show also. They do make good stuff that can play very loud. Not all MBL stuff is in the Stratosphere so to speak. The 8011AM. is mono's is $7150 each. and the two channel 8006B is $3500. I think they have a 2ch that is the 8011S but not sure of the price. It is a real pain for me take my system apart and put gear back in my system. So for that reason I have not thought about it. But I have found several places who do mods for the player and all of the feedback has been very good.

I love the 1027's. I only have them because my dealer became desperate and needed cash quickly. I had the 927's for a number of years. I got them as soon as they came out. I traded in my 927's and a little cash for the 1027's. One of the best moves I ever made. These are much better then the 927's.

In my room, the 1027's sound very nice IMHO :). When I switched from the 927's to the 1027's I could not believe the change. The speaker is better from top to bottom. No regret for me either. They can really sound great. I heard my speakers with the DartZeel amp and my jaw was on the floor. I did not think it was possible to get what I heard out of my speakers. That will be my amp some day.

nice setup :). I have the same cd player as you but I have a pair of 1027's, not Alto's. Very nice electronics as well. I have never heard them, but I have read that MF stuff is very nice. Your room looks sort of narrow. Or is that just the angle of the shot. Pretty impressive you fit Alto's in there. I have no doubt that it sounds great
