hifigeezer you must be bored. Most of the posters likely gave up on FM at least a decade ago!
That Sequerra upgrade for $3800 will buy a Marantz 10B, and it will sound more convincing. I'm one of those FM weirdos- 67 Mac MR 71. Arguably, 2nd place to 10B.
If one REALLY wants to play with a serious tuna, the REL Precedent is my pick. It's what Saul Marantz based his creation on.
The upper level Scotts are contenders.
