Well they arrived today. I've been setting up and snapping a few pics to show you. I've been listening a little, but it's way too soon to make any judgments.
I must make one observation, though. I've been a professional musician (vocalist,guitarist) all my life, until a few years ago when a paralyzed nerve in my larynx ended the singing (miss that most of all), and rheumatoid arthritis brought a halt to playing. So, it's been a long time since I've heard the sound of a guitarist's fingers sliding on the strings. Marvelous!
When I've spent some time with them, I'll give my impressions.
The HSU STF-2 lurks beneath the lamp, clock, and drawer at the far left. The open space in the equipment rack on the right (middle shelf) was occupied by a Bravo D1 which went back. It's reserved for a Bravo D2 (I think) which comes out in a month or so. I'm keeping my options open, but I must say that I'm suffering from DVI withdrawal. I've been watching my DVDs on the Onkyo just below the open space, which I normally use for listening to CDs. It's not bad for DVDs, but the component output just isn't the same as the Bravo's DVI output. Miss it.
More later.
