I am in exactly same situation. Every time I think about upgrade but Platinum Achals are keeping me very happy . Excellent speakers and I am extremely happy with Platinum Achals performanceCongrats on the upgrade, they look really nice. I have been thinking of upgrading my Platinum's for sometime but lacked motivation to pull the trigger since Platinum's have been keeping me happy for so many years, there was no reason for upgrade and I was passed 12 months. Your thread has made the itch come back. I was always under the impression that upgrades could only be done during first twelve months, is it not the case? Let me make an upgrade call to them as well and see what they say.
