Seller had excellent communication during the transaction. The payment process was quick and easy. Items were as described and packaged well. I would definitely do business with this member again.

Doesn't the PS2 have a line out? If you used it as a preamp wouldn't you get the best of both amps?

I hope anyone who is willing to spend $15K+ frequents audio message boards.  This should be posted on all forums.    Edit:  Whoops.  I didn't read through the whole thread.

I too am waiting on the Ember for my HE-500s.  Does anyone know what the kit price will be?

What are your plans with casework for the B22?  

Kamakahah: I am considering adding some sort of hook for cable management.   Thanks everyone for the positive feedback!
