Holy smokes Andrew -- super duper congrats on the Alexxs' and coming up next will be the Progressions. Better keep the phone number of the guys who helped carry your speakers up to the 2d floor. The Dan D'Agostino amps are rather heavy too.

On a side note -- if you enjoy the 12v triggering of your McIntosh gear, the Dan D'Agostino gear uses 3.5mm mono plugs verses the stereo plugs McIntosh requires. I had one long mono that I connected the amps with and currently using a 1M stereo pair from the Progression Preamp to the right amp -- but seated the plug firmly and then backed it out half way. I don't like that, but will do for now until the new 1M mono 3.5mm cable comes in.

P.S. Your speakers finish looks like Argento Silver?

Best Sir,

Bob
