Audio-Images kindly provided a pair of 7200.2 and the 8000USE for a demonstration at my flat and whilst the 7200.2 were an improvement on the 7000's they just seemed more of what I already had. They then replaced 7200 with the 8000 and the improvement was instantly and fundamentally astonishing and the price differential became irrelevant. I just had to own them.
