| Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III I think whether you "upgrade" from the Virgo II to the Avanti III depends on whether you have a listening room that will let the Avantis shine. That is, big enough with space around the speakers to let them do their thing. If so, then I agree that... | |
| Balanced usage with Opus 21 Distortion...I don't believe that to be true. I'm sure the Opus 21 uses all 4 DACs (2 per channel) regardless of which outputs you use. Brrgrr...I would guess that it's a function of the Opus 21 being fully balanced in its design. | |

| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? CDWallace,I'm not opposed to multichannel. This thread posed the question that if you had $10,000 to spend, would you choose to spend it on a 2-channel system or a multichannel system. At that price point, I feel that the money would be best spent... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? If the budgets were the same, I would go 2-channel. A high quality 2-channel system IMHO would be more enjoyable than a not-as-high-quality multi-channel system. Most of the music I listen to isn't available or wasn't recorded in multi-channel, an... | |

| Olive Opus Jeff Kalt, founder of Resolution Audio and designer of the Opus 21, was heavily involved in the design of the Olive Opus. I've not heard the Olive Opus, but you can probably assume that it is voiced similarly to the Opus 21... | |
