I still enjoy visiting your system page. You and I have a similar approach.

I love my MC240 and find it to be extremely transparent - but I have completely rebuilt it and thrown out all those worn out 50 year old caps and rectifiers. That amp on my Avantgarde speakers is the cleanest and clearest amp I've ever heard, whether tube or solid-state.

I fully agree with you that very-high-efficiency speakers are the only way to go. You just never get enough dynamic range and headroom with a low-efficiency speaker, no matter how powerful the amps driving them are. I'll never be able to have anything but horns now that I've got a pair in my music room.

Lots of cool stuff!! Including the Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos - I will have one one day myself.

Wow! What a time warp you have. How do the old McIntoshes compare to the new ones? Talk is the old equipment doesn't quite compare so I wonder what your thoughts are. Keep it going! Arthur
