Returning to the hobby after 12 years and trying to get some footing on how to proceed.
Willing to spend $25k or so.
Old system I still have includes: Mirage M3si's, Audio Research SP9 ll and Aragon 4004 ll.
Have listened to speakers: Linn, Sonus Faber Olympicas (and Futuras), B&W 802,3,4. Hard to audition less broadly distributed brands from NC, but I travel a lot.
Deciding today I'd pick the 802 Diamonds. WAF is a consideration; too big or too 'out there' in appearance will not fly.
A dealer I met is looking to sell a demo Musical Fidelity M6 500i which would replace my SP9 ll and Aragon amp.
Thoughts?
