    I think so, I can't think of an intermediate amp between now and the BH. The uber BH is just awaiting what you have in store for it

    I actually think that's fairly accurate in the sense that the O2's share a pretty similar tonality to the L3000. The O2's do kill them in resolution and speed though.

    The thing I really like with the O2 is they are really holographic soundstage wise. Something I really missed in the L3000.

    I think the O2 midrange is a bit "cooler" than the midrange heavy L3000. Definitely agree that the O2 bests them in speed and resolution. I can't wait to feed the O2 some tubes

    Another thing I noticed is where the L3000 is pretty much bass heavy all the time, the O2 is only bass heavy when called for. ie The National - Boxer is dominated/lead by the drums/bass lines (overall dark sounding album) that sounds so good on the O2. But put in a bass light CD like the Led Zep remasters and the bass is definitely lacking.

    They are definitely very resolving of recordings.

    We're closing on an apartment at some point this summer. If I pull the trigger prior to that, then I'll have to sell the O2 immediately for the alimony payments--unless I get them SuperNinja style.
