Hi Joe, the cost is approximately $1,400. I'm pleased with the system overall, but would like to continue improving it. I find the system in this configuration To be quite musical and non-tiring. I'm not interested in making major changes, so the upgrade path seems logical. However, I have not communicated with anyone having experience with a similar upgrade in their system. I have spoken with Ed at CJ Service and he says the improvement in microdynamics improves the soundstage and musical detail - all good. I'm inclined to pursue the upgrade, trusting in the integrity and music-making acumen of CJ. I appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks for your thoughtful response. I'm generally pleased with the system, but am looking for a sure and cost-effective improvement path. I may look to upgrade the speakers next summer and will look for something that will be happy being fed by a tubed amplifier. My guess is that I will derive more value from the incremental $1600 required to move from an upgraded P11 to the LP70S by applying it to a future upgrade of the 805s. Any thoughts in that regard? Thanks again.
