I second the above post. If you like the Pv-10 or 12, I would suggest taking a look at the premier line as well as some of the older PV series. I have auditioned the pv-10, 12 and 8, and I have owned a Premier 3 (which is wonderful), a PV-5 and a Premier 10 (for sale now). They are all wonderful in different ways. The '3 and the '5 are more lush and warm, but the '10 is wonderfully tight in the bass and has a much more detailed upper midrange. It still has the trademark easy fluid midrange and all three have a holographic huge soundstage. Only drawback to the '10 is that it is a linestage, so I decided to go with an older, but nice Premier 3. The pv-5 sounds much like the Premier 3 but tends to be "hissy" The premier series is in a different league, and I think the gap between the premier units and the normal pv-line has widened considerably in the last 15 years. early 80's models weren't all that much different, some people prefered certain pv-series models to the Premiers. with the later units, though, there are fairly subsatial improvements in sound and design between the two lines. good luck with whatever you choose.
