What components sound best with Reynaud Trentes?

Hey Phil,

I've been using some cables that I purchased from Stan Warren on the cheap and they work wonderfully with the Trentes. I've also heard that JMR makes cables. I've not heard them myself but I've heard from others that they are very good. I'm driving the Trentes with a Plinius SA-250 MkIV and this amp just makes them sing. The Trentes don't seem to need much power but if you give it to them, they do not mind at all. I've also just gotten a listen to a new CDP that is being imported to the states called the Lector CDP-7T. I heard it demoed with the Trentes and the set up sounded wonderful. That is the reason I love the Trentes so much. Every upgrade I've made to my system, these speakers keep showing the improvements. They have yet to be outgunned or overmatched by any other component, they just keep rising to the next level.........John

Hey Y'all,

I'm very pleased that both of you gentlemen are enjoying your Trentes. I had a friend over the house about two weeks ago and he was impressed with the Trentes. He is a planar guy and considers point source speakers slow and lumbering. He felt the Trentes really held up well in my system and he plans on recommending them to two of his friends that are looking for monitors. I would also recommend both of you guys try the Stan Warren cables. I've A/B'd them against Transparent Super XLs, Acoustic Zen Satori and Hologram IIs and very recently with a pair of highly touted Xindak FS-2's and the Stan Warrens are still in my system. If either of you would like to contact Stan, send a private e-mail, I will be happy to pass on his #. For a cable that I paid $105 including shipping for a 10' pair, they have proven themselves unbeatable......John

Hey Phil,

Yes, it is very difficult to contact Stan but it has certainly been worth the effort to me. I can tell you from word of mouth from a gentleman in the business that handles the JMR cables regularly, they do not compare to the Stan Warren cables. My friend sells the JMR cables but uses Stan's cables for his demo systems which include the Trentes on Magic stands........John

Hey Phil,

Stan's cables extend the range of the speakers noticeably and lower the noise floor considerably. They also provide the most musical bass I've heard VS the cables I mentioned earlier. The high end is very sweet, not tizzy or bright, with the most delicate decay. I've never heard the JMR cables, I'm just going on what my friend told me. As I mentioned, he sells JMR cables but uses the Stan Warren cables on both of his demo systems........John
