First post in a while. I could do it as a status update but this thread deserves a bump. I have an opportunity to buy a boxed SR-Lambda Signature...
For shits and giggles, I converted the 90's list prices to 2023 USD's ... 50878 of them. Boy, am I glad end game hi-fi has strong depreciation!
@Thad E Ginathom yeah you may be right about big room audio. However I recall a Stereophile review at the time saying it is not that room...

Susvara on Burson Soloist X3 and AGD R7 (?) at a mate's house last night ... Staggering performance. Authoritative but not overbearing.
