Some nice comments, but I didn't realize the price for 9SE is now $5000/pair??!!

Hmmm...

Unless these are huge step up from the 9.0 version, I highly suggest you go audition the Channel Island D-200's.

In my system, the D-200's better the NuForce 9.0 in every possible way.

If you factor in the price difference ($2300 vs. $5,000), it is very obvious where to turn for your amplification needs.

Well, I've listened to D200's, too, and I don't think that's exactly what I 'need', either.  

If I ever feel the need to "upgrade" from my VAC Ren 30, I'll probably be looking into VAC Phi series...

There is tvad's Phi 110 on Agon right now...

Damn, George.  Why'd you have to do that?  Tvad's even within driving distance from me... Must..resist...

One might have said the same about about the Reference 9s ($2500) and the DNA-500 ($7000).

Not after hearing the D-200's.
