Thank you for a great story. Fingers crossed :)

Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Thanks for the reassurance from Steve but I was thinking they sounded good already. My pair of 0.5's were finished to monoblocks back in 2012 to a Platinum+ edition and I have been very pleased with them. I'm only considering sending the back in to a little improvements like the gravity base if he still offers it. I still need to ask.
I might take you up on your offer for a listening session, we could do an aural exchange. I would get the opportunity to experience the 7.2's and you could experience the McCormack's, I have two pair of monoblocks, 0.5 Platinum and Stock DNA 1.0's.  One has the current while the other has the finesse.

If this sounds interesting to you let me know we can work out the details.

As far as the speaker and crossover upgrades I'm looking forward to the outcome. It's very intriguing.

Keep the stories coming, I always like reading your insights about the back ground  development of these speakers as well as your future upgrades for these.

ig316b,

I aacpt your offer. What part of NC are you loctaed in? 

I sent my amps out to be serviced so they should be back in a few weeks. 

Having Steves amps on CS 7.2 I'm curious how the 7.2 will respond.

This will be a fun session. 

New to the thread so hopefully I’m not interrupting the flow, but recently acquired a pair of pristine 1.6’s and I am interested in any recommendations around amplification. Currently I am using a NAD C375BEE which seems to do quite well with them. Thanks everyone and must say this incredibly long thread is a great read!  John

John,

Welcome. 

Though I will not offer a specific amp amp, as I have not done the amp/1.6 evaluation in my test. I will say what is consistent across the producr line is big power and Class A, if it permits. 

I have a preference for the various models I have and they are all different for each model. 

Tom told me this about Jim. He stated the amp to drive his speakers would cost more than his speakers. 

Not knowing your room size will limit suggestions you may receive.
