Listened to Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, some classical guitar, etc...and it was just superb. My dream SS set-up would be an all Burmester set-up as above with Rockport speakers (or Sonus Faber speakers). Enjoy your new toys. They are indeed exceptional.

Maybe i'd keep an ARC pre- in the chain for some tube goodness
. Speaking of which, Jeff (Tonepub) have you ever tried that combination (ARC pre with the 911 Mk 3) and compared it to an all Burmester chain (assuming there is no impedance mismatch bet the ARC pre and Burmester amp as I have not checked)? That would be an interesting comparison to see how the sonic signature changes...
