  1. "has somewhere north of 9000 albums" - don't call me on moving day. My back hurts just reading the post.
  2. So I have 375 wpc running into speakers that are rated for 140 watts & I can accept that excess, but its going to take me a little time to wrap my mind around bi amping to the tune of 750 wpc. But it does have an appeal...... The dog listens with us. We tried some Yamaha components that just weren't a good fit for our circumstance. The bad decision was confirmed when even the dog wouldn't listen. Odd how some components just work in a given place & other equally fine components just don't cut it. Funny hobby this audio.....
  3. I'll bet that 4.0t really makes those Vandys sing...:-) We are very pleased. I was a bit concerned because at first the imaging was a little flat, not much depth. So I played with positioning the speakers a bit and exercised one of the "options" ( sonic holography) and the combination made a huge difference. Nice depth without muddying up the detail. Seems that the sonic holography is pretty exacting in speaker placement requirements but there was no mistaking when I hit the sweet spot. Thanks again to all for the warm welcomes.
  4. Thanks all for the warm welcome & the cat does not sharpen its claws on the Vandersteens. A few pics attached.
  5. You know the M 4.0t still sounds clean & crisp; I'm not motivated to mess with success but I realize the recap may not be far away. I've posted a very nice PS Audio 200cx for sale on another site. It was a close competition & in another room with other ears, I can see the PS winning the "sound off". I am not excited about selling but I promised not to to be a collector & I need to stay true to my word. Nice forum you folks have here.
  6. Spent some time with my wife this afternoon deciding which of 2 amps to keep. System as of now & for the forseeable future is "sources; Optonica RP 3636 TT, Oppo OPD971H CD player & a nondecript Sanyo cassette deck" into a CT 7 preamp, a M-4.0t amp driving a pair of Vandersteen 2ce's. Really impressed by the clarity & detail of the M 4.0t as well as the tight bottom end. Looking forward to many more hours of listening.
