This is the third system i've posted on Audiogon and it's the best by a good margain. I started out with a Mcintosh 2002 amp back in 1989 and it's taken this long to get another one. This system repaces a SET single driver speaker system and to my surprise sounds more like single ended triodes than the actual SET system. I'm borrowing from a friend the Audio Physic Virgo Speakers until i get refunded or his patience runs out(Thanks Joe!). They really sound good with the 275 on the 4 ohm tap. Down the road purchases on the wish list are cables and a new stand. Have added an alternate SS amp, the Mcintosh MC252 for a change of pace.
Have your brother try Don Better Audio in Shaker Heights. I bought my previous speakers, Cain and Cain Abbeys and Bailey sub there. Don is a very good dealer and very knowledgable. Unfortunately, Don doesn't carry much that i can afford(under 3k)at the present time.
The local dealer that sold JM Labs folded after 25+ years of business. It's getting harder and harder to find a dealer that stocks what we would like to audition. I live between Cleveland and Pittsburgh and the choices get slimmer year by year.
