Anyone heard the new Cary CAD-500MB monos ?

There has been a great review at www.10audio.com - the reviewer actually preferred them to his CJ 350SA.

Anyone heard/owns them ?

It seems that I will have to check at Cary if the problem has been solved.

They are a far better match for may system (much more flesh on the bones), and at least as good as the Lamms overall. It comes as a surprise, since they cost only 1/3 of the price of Lamms ! I have also to add, that their full potential was ONLY realized after placing them on Finite Elemente Cerapuc footers (200$ a pair) bypassing the original rubber feet. For whatever reason, those footers elevate the sound quality of Carys beyound disbelieve. The microdynamics, resolution, low level details retrival are miles better with theose footers placed under the amps. I highly recommend this upgrade to any CAD-500MB owners.
