I would be interested in comparing the Benchmark ABH2 to the Bel Canto Ref600M's.  Checking around to see if someone has one in the area.

@thieliste The Gryphon Diablo 300 looks amazing.  Have you heard it in your setup?  I imagine used they still are expensive.  I'd love to do a comparison between the Gryphon and the Krell.  Will check around my area to see if anyone has one.  The ...

Also picked up a pair of the Sound Anchors for the 3.6's.  Rock solid foundation and I feel much better about them not tipping over as easily now.  The Sistrum stands look great but my are they expensive!  Anyone done a side by side with various s...

Aloha Folks!  Been a long time and quite a bit has changed.  One thing that hasn't is the love of music!Picked up a Krell FBI that has been freshly checked over.  This hooked up to 2.7's is another few notches up from a MSB Analog to Bryston 7BST ...

@jafant this is the review that led me to try MIT.  Could it be that I need to try it with the 330 from preamp to amp in addition to the 750’s? Perhaps it is however I haven’t had the opportunity as of yet.https://www.stereophile.com/content/mit-m...

@arvincastroWhat linestage did you end up with? I'm looking at Aesthetix and Audio Research for the same reasons as you stated.@thielrulesI'm in Seattle and have a pair of 2.7's that I'd be willing to submit to testing. 
Aesthetix Calypso Signature to Eclipse
@ejholtom Did you get your Aesthetix piece upgraded?  What were you using before you picked up the Aesthetix? I'm looking to add a tube pre to my setup and Aesthetix is at the top of the list.  Currently I'm using a MSB Analog as DAC/pre.

@arvincastro regarding Class D amps - I have a pair of the Bel Canto REF600M monos.  My initial impression driving either 2.7's or 3.6's wasn't favorable and I believe this was due to a poor match with other associated components.  At the time eve...

Regarding the differences between the 2.3 and 2.4.I would really like to put the 2.3 next to the 2.4 next to the 2.7 and listen to the difference.  I have 1.6, 2.7, and 3.6 and enjoy them all immensely however have not had the opportunity to hear ...

If anyone is interested there are a pair of 2.2's in black at Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle.  One of the woofers shows evidence of re-gluing the surround.  The passive radiators show signs of delamination as well.
