Description

Moved away from SS amps and went to a tube based system front and center is the Viva Solistino  845 SET IA rated at 18wpc of pure class A power. The Viva is driving the Daedalus Argos speakers with no problems it has plenty of slam, nuance, great sound stage and uncanny imaging.  The DAC is a Lampizator Atlantic TRP, upgraded to include a VC,  which is also tube based and adds richness to the sound of the system.

The server is the Aurender N-100H and I also like to spin CDs, from time to time, and have the Cambridge CXC transport. All cables are Cardas Cygnus and Pangea power cords. 

Replaced the JL E-112;s with a pair of REL S/510's subs in an effort to get better integration with my main speakers, and I believe the REL's achieved this end. The subs with my speakers do sound very good.

do you still have the rythmik subs?  
i'm considering 2 f12Gs myself to add to spendor D7 towers.   if you decided to take them out of your system it would be interesting to understand why.  thanks
