Thank's for the great pictures! I hope to see and hear the RC3 at the Munich show next month.
Concerning amplification of the Gauder speakers, I've always been torn between valve and solid state amplification with Gauder speakers. Onestly speaking I was not always enthusiastic about the combination of of Gauder speakers (Cassiano, Berlina RC7 and RC11) with valve amplification at the Munich shows. The sound lacked considerably bass control and the highs were a tad to harsh, but I guess that was mostly due to the very big room at the show, pushing the valves a bit too much.
I'm currently using the Pass XA 100.5 with my Berlina RC7 D and I'm totally happy, giving a very transparent non-fatiguing sound with lovely mids.
