| Time to change. But to what? Flav, thanks. Exactly my plan - sell the preamp and speakers. Upgrde speakers first and then possibly get a pre. But that is much later. First the speakers. I know the biggest difference would be in the speaker change. Thanks again. May be I shoul... | |

| REF3 with VS115 ARC has bass to begin with. Their REF tubed stuff does bass like best of solid state, or even better. Mitch, did you notice it with REF3? You may not have because you owned REF1 and REF2. All of these had crazy bass. It's just that with every gene... | |
| Time to change. But to what? ha-ha. many choices. yes. but I will not rush. I am going to audition as much as I can and then make my decision.I know this amp is great. That's why it stays. I haven't heard the Sophias in a good set up yet. I know they are good speakers, but fo... | |
| Time to change. But to what? How about another speaker. I just forgot to add it in the original list - Opera Callas Divina. Anyone familiar with it? it received a very good review in Stereophile few years ago. I never heard these speakers. if anyone has, please share your tho... | |

| Time to change. But to what? As far as I'm concerned, I have put both the Sonata III and Bolero on my list. I'm just waiting for an answer from silverline in regards to dealers in NYC or NJ area. | |
| Time to change. But to what? hey Pops why don't you call them and find out? | |
| Time to change. But to what? Adding Silverline Bolero and Sonata III to my list as well. | |
| Time to change. But to what? Mechans, I agree with you. I totally realize that there is a potential for a system that resolves a lot of detail at lower level, to become unpleasant to listen to at higher levels for prolonged periods of time. I am trying to avoid this scenario.... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Tvad, you are right. # 1 - speakers should not look like coffins(or else I will be packed in one of them and burried by my significant other). #2 - no electrostatics, no panel speakers. #3 - I am leaning towards major manufacturers in case the spe... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Jimcrane, what model Harbeth? | |
