Oooh, I would love to hear this combo when you are done. I think the McCormack would pair very nicely with the tubed pre and the Cremona's.

Herron M1 Monos vs. McCormack DNA-225 Platinum?
Is this a fair comparison? These are around the same price point, so how do they do sonically? Each setup would cost me around $5000-6000. I would like to mate it with a Herron VTSP-1a and Sonus Faber Cremona speakers. Herron comes to mind when looking at an amp, but the DNA-225 Platnium is also highly regarded. I am looking for something fairly neutral yet rich, nice detail that sounds like music, and my speakers aren't SET friendly. Room is 18x23, high ceilings. Musical tastes can run from vocals to jazz, classical, orchestra, electronic, to "rock" (Smiths, Pixies).
It would be nice to know which would mate better with the preamp, and which one is better overall, as I can always change Preamps down the line.
