MIDWEEK UPDATE

I managed to get the Boston Acoustics A200s outside before the rain yesterday. They were sanded (like glass!) and oiled and look beautiful!

The Szabo 833s are fabulous! Amazing bass, stunning midrange (from an excellent dome midrange driver), excellent imaging...all in all one of the finest speakers I've had.

The little Szabo 525s are also great... real monitors with surprising bass for their size, and the same great high end as their bigger cousins (same tweeter). The only issue with them is that they are not very efficient, and I'd recommend a minimum of 40 watts/channel to drive them well.

The Energy SM1Ss left yesterday.

I have a fantastic new yamaha A-720 integrated amp. It's very full featured with 3 sets of quality speaker connectors, a moving coil phono stage, switchable class A operation, tone control bypass and more. It delivers a clean 105 watts/channel into 8 ohms, 240 peak into 4 ohms.

The Marantz 2235B just had the STEREO light replaced and is now fully operational and gorgeous.
