Which is best American Amp in $1500-2000 range?
Hi Macrojack,Because I already know what are the best British amps...and I don't trust the Chinese in the amp department. 
Which is best American Amp in $1500-2000 range?
Hi Uppermidfi, It will be used with a Consonance CD 120 ($1100) and a pair of KEF IQ9 (list price $1400, real price $900). I want it to play classical music very very well.. and I give utmost importance to the midrange. I need devastating accuracy... 
B&W 602s3 or JM lab 707s for my Nad c320bee
In my opinion, the 602's are too laid back. Their midrange is too timid and "distant". I personally prefer a more powerful voice projection.I bought a pair of 602's a few months ago and sold them. I decided to buy a pair of KEF IQ9 to replace them... 
Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?

Awful sound from B&W's: Break In needed?
I'm using Kimber kable 8VS for the loudspeakers, bicabled in this economic way: 2 strands for the tweeter and 6 strands for the mid--bass...these cables are not cheap and were well rated by Hi-Fi choice. I use Van Den Hul The Source Interconnect.

Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?
Ok, I see your point. I prefer warm sound. To me, an excellent, superb midrange is the most important thing. I don't need and I don't like tons of bass. My room size is medium; the speakers will be 3 meters apart and 0.5 meters away from the walls. 
Awful sound from B&W's: Break In needed?
Thanks Bojack, Gretsch6120 and Tvad. I'll give them a chance to surprise me...If the sound continues to be harsh after 1o days, I'll do an upgrade to audience 52 or something else. In the $1000-1200 range, which loudspeaker do you think really sta... 
Help Needed: Is my system balanced?
Thanks...I think that 2 years from now I'll start thinking about an upgrade. Maybe a pair of open box or slightly used B&W 805S's , what do you think? I bought the following cables:interconnect: Van Den Hul "The Source" 0.8mspeakers: Kimber Ka...
