Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference I, the original version, has those characteristics and should come in way under his budget. Don't go for Matrix Ref II, not the same animal.
Excellent IC's yet a little mellow up top?
I am wondering if there is an all around great interconnect, yet is a little mellow in the upper registers? Meaning not a ton of energy there but still good 'air'. Would be nice if it was in the $750 to 1k range but I will consider more if it is well recommended within these traits --IF it even exists!
Thanks!
Thanks!
