Thanks, Rob.

Your system looks great. I especially like the red finish version of the Crescendos and your use of Stillpoints under them sounds intriguing.

I will definitely try to audition these speakers.

Hi Wig

Very nice system. I see that you changed out your Avalons for Acoustic Zen Crescendo. I also have the VAC 160i and am thinking of replacing my Tannoy DC10T with something having similar body and tone but with a bit more air, resolution and base speed and quality. Also needs to sound full at the lower volume levels that I prefer. Interested in your view of the synergy of VAC-AZ.

How would you describe the AZ Crescendo's ability to do that with VAC?

Also, the finish on those AZ's looks very nice but do you find them a bit imposing in size compared with your former Avalons which are more similar in size to my current speakers?

Thanks

Jim
