Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7

Has anyone tried refinishing your speakers.....
Thanks Paladin,Well I am glad its not the Strad's, the newer Fabers are tougher to work I would say, I have the original Electa family, the original rustic walnut and I believe I should be able to turn this into a classic piece. I still love to so...

Ayre preamps with Krell amps?
I am using the K-1e with an FPB200, very pleased and believe me did I try Preamps...Pretty much all the Krell Pres, Calypso, ARC REF, Rowland Capri, BAT and finally ended up going with the Ayre. I love my resolution!!! 
General Character of Harmonic Technology?
The room calibration was provided by Wilson so I did position them according to what they said. That seems fine after fooling around much. All equimpemnt is under isolation support and in proper locations (to the best of my knoweledge). Ayre K-1e ...
