I went to the local high-end AV store today. I'd only been once before, this time was with my girlfriend, killing some time, checking out new room setups. As I walked into the last room, I died, went to heaven, and saw speakers. I had absolutely no idea, but apparently, Audio Etc. of Dayton Ohio is one of the limited few Mcintosh platinum premier dealers, so they had the XRT2K speakers hooked up to 6...SIX...MC2KW amplifiers & the top of the line transport/tube pre-amp/DAC pieces. I only had time to listen to a couple of songs, and I haven't really had much experience auditioning high-end systems...but hands down, best sound to ever meet these ears. ;x( My girlfriend has learned to appreciate audio some while being with me but doesn't usually comment much. She even noted (without me prompting!) that she could tell where each instrument and person was standing, that it felt like we were there, that everything was just right. It sounded sooo good.
I know, it's an out of this world price tag, but I thought I'd share my experience and great surprise!
