Thanks guys. VERY helpful. I am still hunting, but getting cloer. I would also consider the XO upgrade from Germany by Werner Jagusch (spelling?) as many suggested on different forums.My only challenge is convincing my wife. She is actively involved in the hobby, loves listening to music together, shopping for vinyl, speakers, and enjoyes the glow of tubes. However, she does not like the rectangulat old cabinets on any Altecs. She set her mind on teh O/96, but at 5-6x the price I am not so crazy about the idea. Even used it is about 4 times. So the discussion i songoing. I hope to be able to audition a pair of Flamencoes soon...
Enjoy the Holidays!
