I've had a PS Audio A500, Class D Audio SDS-250C, Wyred 4 Sound ST-500, and the Crown XLS2000. I obviously like the idea of class D, and they've all been very good amps, but I end up feeling like t...

.. and, back to the HK. The Crown was excellent, but there's something about this HK PA2200. Just sounds right.

Can't seem to edit my system anymore, but I just swapped out the HK amp for a Crown XLS2000. So far, so good ...

Haven't checked in here in awhile .... I'm loving the current setup, especially the Shahinians. Unlike many changes I've made, which impress and first and then start sounding the same, the Arcs jus...

Still getting used to them, but the sound great. The directionality of the sound is very different. They make me realize that, even with speakers that throw a big soundstage, the sound still seems ...

System edited: Picked up a pair of Shahinian Arcs. Still have the Snells, but I'm enjoying these right now.

The Touch is great. I've run it with a Benchmark DAC1, and with the DAC it sounds different than the cd player, but really just as good. Bare it's still excellent--far better than the Duet it repla...

Thanks, Highend64 and Jaxwired. I've thought about putting something up behind the speakers but, honestly, the room is so open that treatment would be tough. One reason I like the Snells so...

System edited: A few small changes and one big one. Getting the speakers up on proper stands was a much bigger improvement than I imagined it would be.

I moved the Benchmark to the office and replaced the SB Duet with a Touch.

My goal is to keep the system as it is for 2012. To this end, I've gone back to the Benchmark less than a month after swapping it out. I figure that two digital front ends should keep me happy!

Don't get me wrong about the Benchmark; I could easily imagine going back to it. In many ways, I thought it was simply better than the CD5x, and when I preferred the CD5x, in all honesty I'd have t...
