Hey Jdgjr,

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I am using Linn k400 speaker wire with Acoustic Zen Matrix II IC's. I love the thick sound of the Acoustic Zen. I just sold some audioquest speaker cable that was 3 times more expensive than the Linn cable and I am getting far better results with the linn. I have to tell you the best thing I have ever done in my system was when i added a REl strata subwoofer. The model ones love it. It affects the whole frequency range and really helps tone down some of those medal dome high frequency. My father has forests and we are now on the same level in bass quality!! You can pick on up for around 750 on the gon. Nice system again!!

Excellent looking system. This surely is something that you can enjoy for years to come! I am a Model one owner and I must say that they are not too room dependent (although ever speaker is to a point) but they do like being moved around. Experiment with placement and possible toe in (toe in collapsed my soundstage). I am not surprised that you are getting a good soundstage, although the room does have something do to with it, I have found that soundstageing with the model ones has alot to do with the electronics and cables. Different ICs can result in a drastic change in soundstage...although I could argue that you could throw model ones in a garbage dumpster and their still soundstage like demands...

Nice system again!
