I had to sell and I downgraded to Bryston for financial reasons. Long story, haha. Anyway, have you tried Burmester, Gryphon, and Daniel Hertz (Levinson's new company)

That makes sense. Yeah, FM is real high priced these days too. But, I do like the sound. I most likely will get it used when I'm ready.

To really hear what FM amps are capable of, the FM cables and preamps are necessary. That's exactly what the 611 I had did! I thought there was something wrong with the amp. It probably gets hot due to being Class A as well? In my mind, FM is one of the best, if not the best. I plan on owning FM again. But only used. There's no way I can afford new!
