What should I do?

I had a Premier 17LS2 and liked it sonically (sounded much better than my previous Premier 14) but switched to an Aesthetix Calypso. My CJ had severe static electricity problems in my system. If I touched it or anything else metal in the system, the preamp muted, often with a bang (and yes I tried everything known to man to mitigate this). The Calypso does not have this problem, sounds superb, and because of its balanced inputs and outputs is more synergistic with my other components. Good luck, Dave

My God, 90? I thought I was an uber geezer at 79. I heard both the 17LS and 17LS2 in my system and there's almost no comparison-- the 17LS2 is superior in every way, well justifying the $1500 increase in MSRP. Hang in there, you've given me new hope :-)

On the other hand, my Raysonic 128 sounds like hell without an active preamp for it to feed. But yes, it's awesome.

I'll add my congratulations and best wishes, but take a bye on those new speakers. I did buy some green bananas though :-)
