Not really Mark! Winker

I have asked my friendly dealer to keep an ear open in case a used example or even an ex-dem might hove into view. Going to another member's place on Saturday week who has all the goodies and a TT to boot. Note to self - vinyl not an option! Roll Eyes

Comments about the 552, accurate as they are, don't mention that very important attribute: TRANSPARANCY.

After 10 years with a 52, the 552 came like a breath or fresh air.

However, although I love my C/B 135s, I am undecided about how much a step-up it would be to go to the 300 or 500.

My (big ProAc) speakers are a benign load and easy to drive; would the 300 represent the better option. I wonder?

Mike!

With 300/500 you'll know how transparent the 552 really is!

The better option is the one you'll like the best in your system, I guess you need a home demo.
But for sure you can't go wrong with the 300 Big Grin
