System edited: New ribbons on the Minis are a real step up from the tympani ribbons. This system has far more resolution and detail than my previous Maggie systems.

Also added a Krell preamp for a biamp system.

Added a pair of mint MG IIIa as wings to the tympanis. Also, biamping with Nuforce Ref series amps. Dynamics, bass impact have increased dramatically. Did not expect better imaging, but that too. Go figure. You never know till you try.

System edited: Decided to biamp with 2 Crown XLS Class D amps using their built in crossovers. I am surprised by how quiet and dynamic these little amps are. The music jumps from a black background. Imaging and transparency are good, dynamics off the chart.

Yes, something like the DEQX units listed on this site.

Just one view, but I think Class D amplification, and equalization are the future of high end audio.

Thanks. Even at over 20 years old they are still special. Future projects include some crossover experiments. There are some limitations since this is our functioning living rool as well.

Thanks. Can't recall any of my Tympanis that sounded like this. Love the sound and convenience of the front end.
