Hi mate,
Very pleased to see someone called me "big dog"... since 1994! When I was a uni student back in Chicago, being part of the AMA (American Marketing Assoc.) one semester we had to sell boxes of chocolates to raise funds. I took the money off this African American dude but forgot to give him the chocs! Later that night we bumped into each other at the gym (called the cage); and was starting to cause a ruckus saying that I had taken his money to all his bros in the hood... and they wanted to teach me a lesson. I then remembered that I had forgotten about his chocs, and dashed off to my dorm room as fast as an impala. I returned right back with the chocs including an extra one for free as an apology. He had his girlfriend next to him at the time and she said "awe ain't that sweet big bro brought ya chocolates, plus one for free, dam!" I apologized to him saying that I had completely forgotten. He looked me in the eye sideways and with a loud voice for the hood to hear said "you aaah'right big daag!" and that's how I got the name. (plus one other small factor was that I could bench & curl more than him...)
Yes, I truly believe that the c-j mono's would be a great match. I won't be able to monoblock the MV60SE because they are no longer made. The newer ones that I'm after are the LP125m series, and my long time c-j importer buddy is willing to offer a great price for the pair, plus trade in my MV60SE.
So this is definitely a good deal, whereas the other guys at McIntosh and Audio Research are not willing to do this for me, since they don't have that kind of policy in place...
I was also wondering whether to wait a while longer and go for the top of the line c-j ART mono's. However, I don't think the Quads really need that kind of power.
At the moment they just sing wonderfully with the MV60SE, and the good wife is starting to ask why the necessary upgrade? I have convinced her that the Quads soundstage will just take off to heaven with mono power. So that's cool, but ART mono's would be a no go with her.
Anyway, this should be an interesting ride, will let you know how it goes.
Cheers and have a good one.
RJ
