random upgrade questions

[Rodney Gold]

I often run my D Premier into the +7 mark , however I use DIRAC which implements a 6-10 DB cut to enable digital headroom

I had a dealer over last week that turned the system up to ungodly levels .. Marcus Miller .. Papa was a roling stone..got some subsonic bass ..
I was waiting to hear the amp clipping , but not so..it played with aplomb . This must have been well over 100db at listening position , I like loud , but this was over the top..

As to G2's .. I have a friend who owns a set .. he was running off a 120 and has upgraded to a 200 .. which he says is much better.

Why dont I upgrade to a 250 .. well price for one .. and my speakers arent sammed.. dont think SAM will do much for them
The only real advantage is USB and ethernet.
I would rather get a 400 system than a single 250 .. I have run monoblocks many times in the past and have felt that separating the channels is the key to monoblock "goodness"

I am trying to gert another d prem.. but the seller isnt budging on an inflated 2nd hand price. Not sure if I need it .. but as the Yanks say .. there is no replacement for displacemnt..
