I'm planning the next improvement to my system but would like others opinions as to the best route to take, DSP7200.2 first or 861v8?
I've recently listened to a few well setup systems, but not yet heard the latest 7200's.
I was mainly surprised by the improved top end naturalness, smoothness, inner space and lack of grain that I put down to the improvements to the 861v8.
In my current system the bass is more room limited than system limited and I control the bottom end with careful speaker positioning as well as the MRC. My existing midrange and imaging are close to reference quality (IMHO).
What have those of you who've upgraded found and given the choice, which would you change first?
