I've had the CL38U-SE for 2 years w/my Bryston 2.5 SST2 amp. W/the Aerial 5T's it an excellent combo. Also it's still as quiet as the day I bought it. Also the phono is excellent I have it hooked up to the Luxman PDA-171A TT w/the Dynavector 20xl2. Next year I'll be upgrading to the Dynavector XX-2.
