This is my Den System and "totally satisfied" would be an understatement. Listening is pure pleasure and the only thing ever on my mind while listening is "listening".

Den System: Dynaudio Focus 140's, Marantz SA8004 CD/SACD, NAD C356 BEE, Wireworld Equinox speaker cable. Den is 12x14.

Yea. That's why I said 3.5. Kinda figured you saw that too. My problem is that I've yet to hear any C-J at all. There are now two CA-200's there. JKVAL's NAD suggestion is also intriguing. I believe Jeff D is back in town here in Portland and owns C-J. I'll see if I can't hook up with him and have a listen. And there is a NAD dealer who also carries Bryston. I've heard both Simaudio and Naim. Linn, too. Not all that impressed by the latter three.

Thanks, guys. These should arrive on Monday. I need to get some stands, set them up and start breaking them in.

I'm actually getting kinda jazzed about this!

Get the CA-200.... You'll love it. Ronenash here says its one of the best pieces of gear he's ever heard. FWIW, I've never hear a piece of C-J that didn't sound wonderful. Trust me on this, you'll really prefer this to Sim gear.

Isn't it amazing how good the new NAD integrated amps sound, especially given the cost. Few would benefit from more and hear a difference.
