Congratulations! They are great amps and you should be happy for a long time.

How do these compare with todays amplifiers from PASS, McIntosh, ARC and Ayre? I must say they are stunning to look at.

I have that stack. To me, they sound sublime. However, I have not heard the other gear you mentioned other than that I have a pair of McIntosh MC601's with another system.

I still will take the Marantz monoblocks over the McIntosh.

Wow, nice system. Do you use a DAC? Its a pity the SA7S1 doesn't have USB input.

I have two systems in the house. The one in my signature is upstairs and another downstairs which consists of the McIntosh mono blocks, a C50 pre, a Marantz SA-11S3 sacd player and a pair of JBL 4365 speakers.
