Thanks for all the threads urging me to wait patiently for the Kestrels, it was worth it. The music has an overall integration, highs are smooth and extended, bass sounds solid and tight. But the mids are where the system really shines. My next upgrade is a good rack and changes to the room. Any comments or opinions are appreciated. Thanks for viewing.
i'd recomend getting rid of the Q-10's and going with something a bit more open and extended. i've been very happy with the mapleshade double golden helix, which replaced the Q-10's in my system. at the same price point, there's no comparison between the two imho. also, the chela speaker cables are a great choice in that price range. as for power cords, i'd recomend giving VH Audio a try there as well. his cables are resonably priced and have a mbg. there's been some good comments on black sand lately, but i have no personal experience with them.
