Thanks... I'm still pretty jazzed about it!

Sadly, like computers, MOST electronics follow the unspoken rule of obsolescence. "If you wait to buy the best, you'll never have anything." Buy the best you can afford TODAY, and stave off the obsolescence as long as possible. I can assure you, the Bryston gear is good stuff, and I for one would be VERY happy to own ANY of their gear. I might add, they have plate amps available as well... in 60, 120, and 300 watt flavors... I love the idea, and have been seriously considering a quad set of the 300 watters for quite some time now, for my living room system.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Those plate amps are quite interesting. When I first browsed those a couple months ago, for some reason I was reading "bandwidth limited" for subwoofers into the specs. They are the -same- technology in the large separate amps, it seems! Very interesting. I also like the idea. Hmm. Adire/Exodus KitLCR w/ 300w Bryton mono plates attached, anyone?

Hmm, was it a T17RE?
