I have the 805m, which are also beautiful (and sound great too)-

A friend has the HE-833 ver.3 as pictured- They are real 'heaters'- He says they raise the temperature in his room 10 degrees F-

Do you know what Kondo gear this stuff was traded for by chance ?

I wonder what speakers this fellow uses ?

Have you heard/owned Shindo gear too ?

Thanks,
David
I've heard David's 805Ms on numerous occasions and can attest to the fact they sound absolutely wonderful. Quite wonderful, indeed.

Thank you.
Hope the long wait...suspense and expense is worth it. Bought the GAT on Agon in early Jan and it should arrive mid April. Ordered the Wavacs last month with a tentative delivery end April.
Cheers
