Audio Research A100?

Have any of you ever used/ heard the Audio Research A100? what can you tell me about it and its sound characteristics?

How does it compare to an Audio Research D130?

Thanks.

Setup:

NHT2.5i mains
Rotel Rcd 971 cdp (transport)
MSB Half Nelson Link III
Audio Research LS 3Br preamp

I want to tame the tweeters, control the bass and get some good midrange presence (which is a bit recessed with these speakers) without making the sound rolled off or lifeless. Dimensionality and air is very important to me.

thanks.

I think a screw in my head came
