BTW, Mark, have you thought of using a Dx38 as a crossover with a pair of your amps to power Jubilees or JubScalas?  That could sound really fine.

 

Hi,

I'm not that much a fan of bi-amping anymore because of the negative sonic issues introduced by SS crossovers. My current preferences are obtaining the highest signal purity. I had lot's of bi-amped horn systems in the past. It has it's own kind of appeal of course, but I am done with that aspect. 

"Multi-channel is becoming more important anyway, with all the concert DVDs, some of which have excellent sound that has a depth you can't get with 2 channels, due in part to the higher res of the DVDs relative to CDs."

Meh........

I've heard some DVDs that are a big step up from CDs, in clarity and naturalness of sound.

I was initially a bit dubious about running the analogue signal from a turntable through an ADC and then a DAC, with lots of EQing between the two, but the improvement in sound won me over.  Maybe the 24-bit processing and 128X oversampling minimizes any digital degradation of the signal, I can't say.

Also, I've never had the pleasure of hearing a high-end tube setup, so I literally don't know what I'm missing.  I do know my setup really pleases me, as yours does you, and that's what really matters.
