Sutherland Club House

I totally agree, i did a ton of research and everything pointed to Sutherland being the choice, i think that is why i am so disappointed. This is my setup: PrimaLuna Prolgue premium integrated amp, marantz tt-15 with a clearaudio charisma cart and Klipsch Forte IV’s. Do you think there is any chance the insight is not compatible with my setup?

Unrelated, but how are the Forte IVs? I grew up with Forte IIs and have been sporting a pair of my own for a few years now. Have been meaning to make a trip to listen to the IVs, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I love them. I upgraded from my heresy III’s. I think eventually i will upgrade one more time to cornwalls but i am really enjoying the Forte’s so far - just need to figure out my phono preamp situation lol

No incompatibility issues at all. I agree with everything @AnthonyI said. I’d still be running my Insight, but got a wild hair on an open box Duo. @jaycee has the Insight now, and I’m sure it’s working great.

Just an idea- all four jumpers are seated?

Sorry, i am not exactly sure what your are asking? Both left and right loading is set to 47k and both right and left gain are set to 45db (i tried both at 40db as well).

Sounds right. Just trying to make sure the jumpers were pressed down flush to the base of the pins.

I love my F2s. I've always wanted to hear Cornwalls but unfortunately I don't think I could fit them in my space. :cry:

I spoke to them and they agreed there was an issue with the unit. They do not have another open box, but agreed to reduce the price of a new Insight but i am a bit gun shy now about what i want to do. My 1st experience with the Insight was less than ideal.

Do it. Worth it.

I went from an Insight to the Duo. MD has a 60 day money back guarantee, so the demo happened at home with my system- where it counts.

I noticed a difference from insight to 20/20 From piecing together reviews I don't think it would be as big a jump to the DUO.

It's the only thing left in the chain that tempts me though. Everything else I would want would be out of my comfort zone.
