JM, I took the family to Denver one time. After doing everything for the kids and wife, I slipped off on the last day to audition some gear. I almost caused us to miss our return flight. But, I heard Quick Silver, Rega, ARC, Maggies, PSB and others for the first time.

I know what you mean about wanting to hear the Boxers. The most impressive thing I've heard was a Jolida amp driving a pair of standmount Nolas. I think they were Napoleons at that time. I have the amp, but I thought I could substitute for the Nolas for less money. I wound up with a very nice pair of Soliloquy 5.0i anniversary edition at a nice price. But I'm still not over the Nolas.
