Hi Rikki
I hope you had a nice vacation, but glad to have you back on the forum. I am sure you're right about the KN7000, but the size would make it a bit unwieldy for performance. I am in the process of converting some of my best custom Technics styles to Pa800 and they sound better than on the KN7000.

Since you are a better technician than I, it will be interesting to hear what you come up with.
