IvanFX, why did you evaluate DSP7000 and not DSP7200 which is current? I'm not saying it would have had another outcome, but it is an improved design. Probably quite a bit more refined and transparent.
Because i leave in Russia and DSP7200 are not yet available for demo!
I didn't like DSP7000, but not for tonal balance or transparency. I decided they lack a bit in musicality and involvement (compared to Vandersteen Quatro, which i prefer).
For example, i have now Plinius SA-102 and Meridian G57 amps. Plinius is better in terms of transparency and sharpness. But i still prefer G57 as for its "drive".
