I've just recently upgrade my system, and believe I'm done. There are still some small tweeks I would like to purchase, but I believe I will take a break. I would like to thank all the people that have helped me here at Audio Gone with this upgrade. They have all been a great help and a pleasure to do business with. The system sounds really good. I do still want to find some dampening devices for my cd player. I have posted questions about them, but only heard from dealers. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Other than that, I'm very happy with my new system.
220 Watt Mono blocks they are the newer version with improved circuit boards and the wide band transformers and upgraded tubes. Awesome amps for Electrostatic speakers. Big time bass and beautiful midrange.

System is in the process of being broke up. I have moved and the new house will have a LOT smaller room. I need to come up with some new ideas on a smaller scale. ANY help will be greatly appreciated. I know I need to get smaller speakers and the Wolcott amps will probably over kill too. I will keep the Wadia and Eaxctpower unit and some cables but speakers and amps need to go.
Thanks for the Elrod suggestion. I have had 1 in my system before with the pass X350 amp and loved it!! But right now I have tube mono blocks and need 2 power cords for my amp's and with the price of 2 Elrods 1600.00 used plus it is a little more than I want to spend. My wife would kill me as I have spent allot recently and she has been VERY supportive so I don't want to push it! I have new speaker cable coming thanks to her! I am also testing some Omega Mikro active power cords on my amp's both the (RED ) version on loan from a friend with a AWESOME system! and love the hell out off them!! As much as I like the omega Mikros, I will probably have to pass as he wants 1200.00 or so. As I get closer to the end I see myself with less $$ spend ,as I am sure allot of people find themselves. I want and want but have to be sensible! I have spent allot on certain things which I consider main stays in my system so I must cut back some were?? Again thanks for your response but I will have to look for something a little more affordable right now!! I do want to say this,to anyone wanting to and that can afford to spend the $$ on a ELROD I would not think twice about it, this power cord is EVERYTHING and MORE then what you may have read or think. It is totally awesome!! maybe some day again. I would like to say thanks to Anthony at Aberdeen Components he has help me audition cables ( Elrods,Nordost and so on) and has ALWAYS given me a fair price!! Thanks Anthony!! Sorry to blabber on but I do thank you for your input,but wanted to let you know I have been there and I hope some day I will again!! regards Brian
Thanks for your response. I was looking at some ECHO busters for the rear walls and the front, and also looking at a few other options. I put a couple towels behind each speaker just to see if it helped anything, and was really surprised at the difference it made. I'm also trying to find information on other panels. The ECHO busters seemed to be a good option, but when I submitted my room to them for a quote, they came back with a price of $3500. That's a little more than I want to spend on room correction. I'm open to any suggestions people may have. As far as the brew is concerned, the Killians keg is gone; on to Amstel light now. Again, thanks for your response.
