Another set of thumbs up for the CJ preamps. I've found that with many manufacturers, and CJ in particular, there is a significant synergy in 'staying within the family'. I'm using the 17LS with Premiere 12's and love the sound. When I was out shopping around, I auditioned the 12's with a number of different preamps, but found that the CJ preamps (16, 17, and ART) produced a sweetness and depth that I didn't find in the others. Its worth taking a listen to them and see what you think. I agree with Sagger about the 14 -- the new line is a marked improvement over the 10/12/14 family and will much better complement the 12's. Cheers, Ken
