Pardon my buttinski...I just got a pair of the Colorado ICs and installed them Saturday. Still settling in, but initially what a GREAT upgrade from the Jaguar 36v ICs I used in the same position (pre>amp) for a week or so. The Jaguar (moved to CD>pre) were my intro to AQ DBS and I thought/think VERY good, but the Colorado are superb. All the attributes the original poster mentioned.BTW: I attempted to hook the 72v pack to the 36v Jaguar pack,just to see if it was "doable". No dice.
My only dissatisfaction with the Colorado is that the 72v battery pack is twice the size of the 36v case (no coincidence there I'm sure!) and there is much more movement/motion/looseness of the batteries in the 72v pack as with the 36v pack. Since I moved the pack from the IC and set it on Herbie's grungebuster material on a stable shelf though, this is at best a minor complaint.
Next, and probably not soon enough, I need to upgrade from the Jaguar.
Thanks Kenster for your reports/info on the AQ DBS ICs, they certainly helped guide me in this pleasing direction!
