I recently purchased the 8200 Mk1 and it is finally breaking-in. The sound was bright when I first purchased it, but after only one week the sound has warmed to the "tube-like" descriptions I've read so many times. Last night I was especially impressed with the vocal sections of certain songs - like I never experienced before - that elicited such a strong feeling in me. I've just never felt so connected with the music.
I am driving Polk LSI-25 speakers and am very, very happy. Of course, all things are relative, er, subjective. Anyway, I couldn't be happier for the money I spent ($2,300 for amp and speakers). Only wish I hadn't waited so long.
