I’m interested in reading impressions. Steve Gutenberg just reviewed it. I’m surprised by the price. For the same price, you can get American made integrateds; Rogue chronus magnum and Cary SLI80HS.

This is a great thread! Acurus , Aragon, Adcom, creek! I lusted after these amps for years. No one mentioned the palladium’s! I recall reading about the ”military grade” hardware and soldering and thinking, wow….someday. I would end up in a Vancouver shop in 1999, I found a brand new 4B sst for...

I do have a dayton sa1000 And a 12” sundown sub in a factory’s box All made in NC

This is how I feel about getting these speakers. All out
