Anyone is welcome to setup a time and come listen to Nuforce amps at my place. In the main system, you have your choice of Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Usher Dancer II CP-8571 floorstanders both run in a bi-amp configuration using a Tact RCS-2.2X. I, too am waiting on the Ref9s to show up. At that point, you can hear either speaker with your choice of three different amp combinations (or any mixture of the three): 4 Nuforce Ref9s, 2 Butler Audio TDB-2250s, or 2 Tact Audio S-2150 amplifiers.
In a second room, you can hear the Ref 8 and Ref 8Bs being run in bi-amp configurations with a pair of Von Schweikert VR-4jrs being fed from Tact's $10K surround processor, the TCS MKII....
Nuforce is buttery sounding and incredibly detailed, refined and has incredible extension in both directions when used in conjunction with room correction preamps.... I'm happy to show them off at any time and let you hear how it compares with other high value competitors.
