PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo
Well guys my home Ypsilon demo date has been pushed to end of february.But the good thing is that the distributor might have the PST-100 MKll preamp by that time so he should be able to come with the full Ypsilon system.Keep you guys posted.
