@oddiofyl  that’s the reason I’m looking to move on from mine. I like what I have but I feel like it doesn’t elevate the system. 
 

been looking at used Herron, Hornshoppe, Supratek, Backert. I run subs so 2 sets of outs are a necessity unless there’s another way around that.

@jackd  tell me more about the Supratek?

If you can lay your hands on a used Backert Rhumba 1.3, it will bring smile on your face when you introduce it in your system and listen to it. Unfortunately they don't show up often.

@unsound  either or.

 

@milpai  I’ve seen a 1.1 and debated it. You’re right though, Rhumbas don’t show up often if ever.
