Sonics - Amerigo
well it's like this: after living with the sonics for a while and testing against the thiel 1.6, i can honestly say that i believe the thiel 1.6 are way over rated. the sonics beat them in every way possible, and the used price was very similar at... 
Adromada III or sumo nine
maybe a bit late here, but i have owned the Sumo Nine. reviews i've read about the Andromeda have not been good, but the Sumo Nine is a well regarded, if quirky little amp that makes a nice sound. can be a bit tiring to listen to, but if you like ... 
My System....where to start on the upgrade path
that is your system after two years?! i'm impressed, well done. your speakers are quite sensitive as well, with a friendly impedance curve, so perhaps it's the 'voice' of your speakers you're not happy with.instead of going SS by default, you coul...

Who R U?
i just searched 'Accutronics' and this thread came up. Did Arnie really start Audiogon?? i had no idea. the reason i did the search is because i saw the Ann Arbor club posting and asked if Accutronics was open, and if Arnie was still selling hifi....

i remember Paragon, i had the same feeling as you when i visited that place. shame about Accutronics, they were true enthusiasts and very personable. Arnie worked with me on the Cornwalls, i paid him a little every month until they were mine. from... 
The Next Step - what would you do?
okay, on the way i have the Thiel CS1.6, and Sonics Amerigo, both second hand demo pairs, from hifi shops. the thiels i paid a premium for, and the sonics i got a deal on so they were almost the same price. =)i haven't found the appropriate Spendo... 
Ann Arbor, MI.
hi AnnArbor!is Arnie still running Accutronics, down on State St? that was the place that got me in to HiFi. i walked in on a lark, sat down and listened to a pair of Cornwall IIs and could only think 'how am i going to pay for this'.i've since mo... 
Sonics - Amerigo
thanks Samtse,the allegra and allegria are well known and tested, but the amerigo is a box design made for the american market, so the sound signature may be different from the established models. i may just pick up a pair to audition at home, sin...

just to add: i've read the reviews available on the internet.what i'm interested in is real Audiogoners giving their honest opinions. 
The Next Step - what would you do?
Knownothing, this is a point that i have heard many times before. i need to audition some proacs or spendors here in berlin.or better[and more expensive] yet just buy the cs1.6 and an equivalent pair of proac/spendor, audition them in my place ove...
