System edited: Just added second Quad 99 stereo amp. Bi-amping has improved the over all imaging and cleaned up the midrange. I experimented with vertical and horizontal bi-amping both had their benefits but I stuck with the vertical set up as it was more seamless.
I hadn't realised someone had responded to my system. I have found the chord cables (silver) to be wonderful, they were advised to me by chord. At first it did make the system a little bright more than I liked but after it had all settled down the sound was a huge improvement over my old copper cables. especially when the speaker cable and connectors were matched.
btw I have added another 99 amp now and the imaging is massive, this is my finest system yet. oh and quad have released an Elite series now based on the 99 series.
