[QUOTE=rubytuesday;892990]I am pretty certain these speakers are going to stay in my house for a long time (unless i decide to upgrade, which has been known to happen to a few of us ).

Not to be a sarcastic, but are you selling these already? Won't the dealer take them back?

In this hobby it's tough not finding something you like better of anything.

i have sat in front of my systems many times and knew i needed to go in another direction.

good luck to you!!

I listened to an accuphase integrated with SF Olympica III and fell in love. I also bought a Performance DC turntable, so selling the concept. Getting a lumin streamer to replace the Node 2.

A bit schizophrenic I know. No one said this was a rational hobby. Nor one not prone to impulse control issues. All that being said, I’d likely be just as thrilled keeping the Kanta’s. We’ll have to see what the fate of the audiophile G-d’s have in store for me.

The blessing...and curse of this hobby is there’s ALWAYS something better.

Aren't we fortunate to have Ivan available to help us out with our Accuphase needs. GregnNH may still have his E-600 available.
