really to me it’s about the tweeter difference between A series vs S series. seems to be a consensus that A series is somewhat softer/darker on top otherwise A series looks to be more speaker for less $

hearing is good but i know highs are softer than i recall from a year or two ago. treble on auto/home theatre all cranked up. plus i admit to valuing clarity and high frequency sheen very much. This should be the S1’s calling card.

no need for contention. i appreciate erik’s comments. the only thing that seems weird is this incredibly built non resonant cabinet sounding chesty or maybe with too much mid bass. It’s not ported and only has a 7” mid/bass driver. it seems incong...

Recommendation for new cables
i’ve had great success with AQ’s all silver interconnects coupled with one of their higher end all copper loudspeaker cables. If you can afford AQ silver spkr cable definitely go for it.I too have a Bartok and Wilson yvette’s. Good stuff.  
Need a preamp, new or used.
i’m afraid that tamping down the highs will make things quite boring. one of the points of really good audio is to hear it all wout fatigue. good equipment does this.

Art gone already. what a piece..  
Preamp choices:Short list
not not sure of budget but being single ended, which some prefer, i’d look at the cj art that just came up. won’t last long. it’s among the best ever. in ss i think that the ml 523 would be exceptional given my experience with a 326s. it was reall...
