    Good, but man, after you hear the 860v2, it’s no going back. I really like the 760A footprint. It doesn’t quite have the big sound and sense of effortless power of the 860v2, but in a small to medium room, great. Sent from my iPhone using...

    The 805’s and 800’s first Diamond series were a big catalyst to my getting so into stereo equipment. Sounds like the D4 generation are very well-received as a whole. I agree with you, Mike. After you factor in the prices for stands nowadays, you...
