Are you considering a second system? The PM-11S3 and SA-11S2 will make some very economic and great sounding combo. Throw in a pair of used GM/GE and you're set.

Hi Tommy,
Price-wise the MA9S2's are not that bad for what you are getting. I have never heard a bad word about them and I have always wanted a pair for the heck of it. It probably will not happen, but I am considering the new Reference integrated and cd player for another system. I have it on good authority they are AWESOME!!!

The top end is a little recessed..am thinking of trying to remedy that with some different cables. Anyway, i would guess the PM11s3 would sound similar, as long as you're not driving power hungry speakers with a difficult load to loud volumes. Not sure what the PM11s3 goes for, but you should be able to get a pair of the MA9S2 for well below 8k now.

Thanks Todd. I appreciate you feedback. I love the look of the gear too.
