To build on Randy's input, you could put the Silenzio upside down, right side down, left side down or in the garage and it will sound just as good.

Still points or floor... Silenzio does what you want. This is the epitome of stealth underneath 100k worth of DAC. The grandioso is something else... I am still trying to formulate something coherent rather than a stupid giggle before i write something more in depth.

I'm still laughing at your "it does not suck" comment! I can only imagine how awesome the stack sounds and now especially with the Silenzio in the mix.

Stealth is right! I had to look twice, even knowing it was there and knowing what to look for.

I agree, not to keen on having all four boxes stacked like that, all components need to breathe.

"It does not suck" is E's highest form of praise and something you will hear him say from time to time!

The "Silenzio" is now in the "Grandiose" environment it was designed for. Ivan and "E", this is absolutely amazing.
