Thanks for the offer, Dave, I'll keep it in mind. I've always liked Bryston as well. An amp/pre-amp upgrade won't be in the cards for some time though, since it would cost at least a few grand for separates that improve much on the modded 3490, IMO, and I'd also want a separate tuner at least as good as this one.
If I had my way, I'd get an older Pass X250 and ARC LS-25 MkII (I could handle replacing a few 6H30's now & then
). I think those two would sound very good together on 590's, and then look at a custom network.
