Joe:
Still running the demo pair. Mine (pewter) are scheduled to arrive in a week or so I think. I am enjoying my music immensely at the moment! They do 90+% of everything so well. Dynamic, texture, tautness, and tone are all very appealing to me. And they pair beautifully with my Pass gear. They just don't capture, for me, that last tiny bit of "realness" the D3s did however. But, there were, again for me, just too many other issues with the Raidhos. I'm happy with the trade offs and end result.
Now, what I really need is another room for another system

They won't be staying. Perhaps D1s or C1.1s will be in my future.Michael
