C-J PREMIER 17 LS SERIE 2 VS 16 LS SERIE 2


- I actualy own a CJ PREMIER 17 LS SERIE 2 with PREMIER TWELVE (mono block amps)with DIRONDO drive, JADIS JS1 dac and CABASSE BALTIC 2 (speakers)wired with NIRVANA SX cables.
-My question is: will be an emprovement in a significant way if i upgrade to a PREMIER 16 LS SERIE 2?.
-I was told that the 16 LS is more accurate but will i loose the relative sweetness of the 17 LS ?.
- Opinion of owners who upgrade this way will be helpfull.
- My personal taste is on the warm side of being neutral.
-Any sugestion of tubes are also welcome.
-Thank's for reading me!

I'm with Tim here, If you want to keep the sweetness of the prem17 and gain dynamics and musicality, the prem 16 is the way to go.
the CT5 and ACT2 go a bit too far to neutrality for MY tastes but I would go back to a prem 16 any day.
You may notice that cj now have a ART3 using 6922 tubes. Read that want you want between the sound of 6H30 and 6922's.

Nice review on the PH7. You make me want to go out and listen to it. A little more musical meat on the bones, while maintaining the Xono's bass control and quietness sounds almost perfect.
Did u buy the PH7 or are you staying with the Xono?
