I agree that the 30.2 or. 1 sound is better than the SHL5+. He should also check out the compact 7es3. The C7 is an amazing speaker! Plus the C7 have a little more bass than the 30's. The C7 is like a baby version of the 40.2. The C7 will sound good with the mc275, but would recommend a solid state preamp. My c52 made the detail go thru the roof! No fatigue either! Also cheaper brand new. I paid 3400. sep 2017 for the tiger ebony finish. OP I also have similar music taste.
