| Lumen white: White Light Hi,I know your thread is old, but I think I know what you experienced. The cd 7 sounded thin and un-dynamic. I used to own it, and I hated it and could not understand the positive rewievs it got. But as you know, ARC replaced it with the cd 8 quit... | |
| Amps for Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Hi Doug2507,After having listened to both the Pass and the MSB´s for a few months now, I must say that MSB is the owerall winner for me. They do everything better, except for midrage warmth perhaps. But if you end up going for the MSB´s, make sure... | |

| Amps for Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Hi again,The quest for new amps pointed me in the direction of McIntoch as allready mentioned. The guy who wanted to sell his 501´s also has a set of almost new 1,2kw, and we are now "negotiating" the price for them. If we can come to an agreement... | |
