I originally had an all SS system comprised of Revel Gems, BAT vk-40 preamp, Rowland 201 monoblocks, and an XA9000ES sacd player. It did the "audiophile" thing very well...imaged and staged like crazy, detail was everywhere, etc. But something just wasn't right, I felt. So I decided to completely overhaul my system and went with a 300b tube-based system, and suffice it to say, I have NEVER been happier. I'm done for a looong time.
Your speakers are gorgeous. I have the Kit 3s with the Audio Note Kits birch cabs (VERY nice) which I've been thinking about finishing. However, I surely could not do nearly as good a job as this. Did he build your cabs or just finish them? Thanks.
