I love my setup now...I know everyone gushes over their latest purchases generally, but this was a real eye opener, as I went into itnot expecting much of a change...and it isn't like I hated my old setup, but wow, so much more soundstage and just so involving! I had the 501 needles bouncing yesterday when the wife went out...Chris Rea's "Texas", I have never heard it like that...I was giggiling!

KahunaCanuck.......I know the feeling well. Very nice looking system. That MC303 sure looks good, too. Enjoy those new B&W's.

That's awesome, bounce those 501's I do. Still can't get the protection to turn on and I play some heavy stuff. Korn, Slipknot, Metallica, Disturbed, AC/DC, the list goes on. Just curious are you going to buy the HTM1D? to match of save your money and keep the HTM2d.

Thanks guys!

As to the HTM1D, I can't say I am in a hurry to change to it, while I am sure it would be a step up, I need to make the wife happy for awhile and replenish the account a little. I want to try to get the HTM2D up a little higher if I can, maybe put something under the stand of the speaker itself to get a few more inches closer to the 800Ds...
