WOW!!! I think it’g great that Ed went and got the best transport in the industry from Esoteric. I kind of get the feeling that the XDS1 will have better, more authoritative base because of it. I’m hoping to get to the Audio fest on Sunday so I can hear there new CD/SACD player.
Hi Steve,
I think the whole package is WOW-worthy too.
Hope to see you Sunday!
Take care,
Mike.
Those look like some awesome speakers! I love how sound moves and the quality that you can produce with speakers like those. Do you know where I can get some on discount by chance?
