Hi Weyskipper
Don't give up on the S10 and 202 until you've run a decent digital cable through the xlr connections and the 202 control panel on xlr. This combo sounds great on my system. In fact, I now have the strong desire to add the carbon upgrade to my Vandersteen 5As. As for the expense, the sound I'm enjoying with this combo was probably, in the past, only produced by systems twice the cost of my rig.
I had decided that I would only purchase high-rez digital music going forward, but digitized redbook cd's sound so good now I no longer feel restricted.
