Bought an Almarro A318A SET and hooked it up to my HT Pro-9s (non bi-wire) going to Thiel 1.6s.
It was "not good".
Sounded like the speakers were coated with honey -very thick and slow with little treble.
Changed to Nordost Blue Heaven (non bi-wire).
The most dramatic difference I've ever heard.
Music was very snappy, quick, detailed -full of "SET goodness".
The HT Pro-9, however, sounds fabulous between my BAT 300X and the Thiels. Just proves that system interection can not be ignored.
