Likewise, the fear of something might go wrong and the possibility/ability to properly fixed it (back then, service and backup level from dealers are not quite that excellent as today) back to mint is a concern.

In the end, I dropped the idea.

Seriously, IF I had the chance to start all over again, I would have go straight for the 808.2 + 8000 combo. I am not into HT and so, a pair of 8000 is still affordable.

But today, looks like its only a dream as I have ventured too deeply elsewhere. At least, its not in the wrong direction altogether as seemingly, I have been very happy listening to their performance and not for once I had ever wondered should it be a different gears!

But I suppose Howie had hit the right path to his audio nirvana! I am waiting for the day to be invited to audition and share his pleasure from his wonderful uncluttered ease-of-use BUT very high end musical system!

Cheers!
