I appreciate all of the replies. I did not stop at the C7-Xe and went ahead and purchased the matching V5-Xe amp and K5-Xe pre amp. When I bought my house one of the first things I did was to replace both of the outlets on my wall with PS Audio silver plated, cyrogenically treated outlets. I currently use a Monster HTS-3600 and my local Ayre dealer told me to dump it and go straight to the wall. He feels that the Monster line of PC's choke too much of the current. However, he does reccomend one of the Richard Gray's power conditioners, somehting like the RGpc 400 Pro
Many Thanks,
David
