Got to open up my system today. Vandy Treo's


just opened up like I've never heard. The bass was there in spades. Tight and tuneful. I usually have to listen with the sound lower and they are very clear and dynamic that way, but when opened up a bit I was shocked at how the SQ of the bass and mid bass was. I played all types of music and most had some deep bass notes in them. I was able to hear it and feel it. I'm about to get the Quatro CT's as the carbon fiber tweeter is something special to me. I've yet to hear such a natural sounding tweeter. Too bad it's so costly to make as I'd die for all the drivers to be made of the carbon/balsa wood cones.

We have some great materials now to make some incredible speakers. I'm glad that Richard is still designing as too many of the Mount Rushmore designers have left us or are no longer in the business.

If you want to hear another big improvement, get the Ayre 7 cd player to match your amp. The difference will not be subtle.
Sorry. I was looking at your system and it shows an Ayre 7 integrated and a Marantz universal player. I didn't know you had the Empirical. I've never had a chance to hear one of those, but I suspect its right up there with the best dacs. I like Steve N too. He seems like he's the type of person that will go out of his way to help you get the best sound.
