Hi Abe, thanks for checking my system last month. Aren`t those Dynaudio something? I am curious regarding you change from two channel separates to a multichannel receiver. What separates you had previously and how different is the sound now with the receiver? Did the sonics decrease by pairing the Special 25 with the receiver? i know that you are in the process of upgrading, i`ll be following it closely, regards, Angel.(I end up selling my audio research stuff and got a Pathos Classic One)
