I own the ovation and pm2000. Great combo. The strengths are the ovation's 2-channel output and the pm2000's flexibility and amazing sound quality. The older ovation is the weakest link because it doesn't have an analog pass-through, so you can't listen to SACD/DVD-A/vinyl (fixed in recent models). Since I'm interested in analog, my ovation is going to be boxed, and maybe sold. The amp, however, is a dream. I forget which year, but dubious Stereophile actually listed the PM2000 and the Signature proc in their A lists.
The company has stabilized, too. No problems with EAD.
