I assume you've read the reviews for RWA Isabella? I own one and can't say enough good about it. Off-the-grid (battery operation) has to be heard to fully appreciate.

I've owned many units over the years, but moving to RWA has finally stopped my craving for something better. When friends who've heard my system describe it to others they use words like you felt like you could reach out and touch the musicians. I've heard $200K+ systems that were not as real or natural as what I hear.

My opinion is you never really know what you've got 'till you hear it in your room. Do the web research. Try to get down to a couple contenders. Then -- assuming they have 100% money back guarantee -- try the finalist in your home and your system.

You did not mention it, but the Isabella has optional upgrades to include a very nice DAC and a headphone stage. Making for an even better value if you need these.

BTW: I use mine with RWA Sig 30.2 straight amp and Omega Super 6 Single drivers with Omega DeepHemp sub.

Good luck with your search. Kent
