Probably moving to Europe, how do I change my system?

I started with a Pandora with built-in Legato and the Antileon EVO Stereo amp. At first with the Kalliope then with the Ethos. I was certain I was done. Oooops. I most likely do have a chance to try the EOS 5 speakers at home. I wanted to order a pair immediately after hearing them at Axpona. But my audio guru said absolutely not. Then he ordered a pair of them for himself. I am pretty certain I could borrow them. Not sure that is in my best interest though. My bride states clearly she will kill me in my sleep if I bring home any more speakers. Decisions.....

Your thoughts on the Antileon sound vs. the Mephisto sound match what many have told me. So I skipped the Mephisto and jumped on the Apex. No regrets.
What an embarrassment of riches! Haha.

I’m just fighting to hold on to my current gear.

I don’t think I’m going to upgrade speakers, although if my back is against the wall, I’ll try the EOS 2.

Tell us how it goes with the EOS 5. I don’t think I should push those against the wall but, could you can try it for me?

I’m thankful that the Colosseum has a vertical footprint. The horizontal designs attract too much attention.

These days, a lot of people have forgotten about amplifiers, and they can’t quite grasp that the Colosseum is an amplifier.

I would keep the amplifiers. Ask an electrician to put a step down transformer into the DB board to give you a 110V power plug where your system is installed. Get a good transformer that also changes the frequency.

There are many tube enthusiasts who use amplifiers with US 110V power requirements via step down transformers in Europe.
