| Effortless, grain-free sound - is it possible? FWIW, I now have the Cary 303-300 and I've adjusted the speaker placement per the Cardas web site. I also have several more hours of break in on the speakers and the integrated amp. Results: Much better. Most of the glare is gradually disappearing... | |
| Effortless, grain-free sound - is it possible? Thank you for the comments.Yes, I too thought that maybe I'm being unrealistic, but when I say "at volume" I'm talking about 10:00 O'Clock on the volume control. Nothing like "real world" volume.

| Best monitors under $5,000/system combos Thanks for the comments. To clarify, the $5K is for the speakers alone. Looks like I need to hear the Caravelles, which I did not know about before your posts. Everything I read and hear tells me that the Cramona Auditors are also very lovely. I c... | |
