I really think a road trip is in order for an expense of this magnitude. Your other option is to buy online and keep flipping them until you find what you’re looking for. Overture Audio is in Delaware and might be worth a visit.
Maybe buying a different amp
The amp I've been using is going on a little over 20 years old and thinking about a different one and have my eye on possibly a Mcintosh MC352 or a Bryston 4B3 and both are around the same price. They would driving a pair of PMC PB1i and have read that PMC and Bryston have a sort of synergy for some reason.
Any comments please?
