No kidding! As far as I remember, there was a thread in Audio Asylum/Tweaks/DIY that Kimbers are very detailed, etc. Also, I substituted the stock Audio 1 caps in my other amp (Cary SLI-80) for Jensens and I thought they were bright. I hope a subs...

Snell E/III vs. Snell Type D loudspeakers
I really appeciate your comment!Actually, I own the E/III for 12 years. Several times I tried to replace them for new speakers, taking home various speakers from a hi-end dealer, but after a month's euphoria I came back to Snells. I decided to kee...
