Re: D'Agostino 5.1
Very nice! I'm sure Mario Kart never sounded better.
In all seriousness, that comment comes from my own experiences using 845 monoblocks to play MarioKart with my son a few years ago. It was awesome, but a small part of me felt guilt using those tubes for a child's game.

Re: D'Agostino 5.1
Beautiful system. What is your room size....pictures look like main listening position is near field....but both side seats look off axis. Pictures can be deceiving.
I have 3 M400s and a S250 with WA speakers and love it. Based on my experience I bet you have a big grin on your face
next upgrade to look at is Datasat RS20i

Re: D'Agostino 5.1
It is near field, about 9 feet from listening position to mains. The side seats are defiantly off axis, but I don't sit there, those seats are for non-audiophiles!
