Mickep, you are right - just two years ago I was still enjoying the system I bought as a penniless university student. It was getting rather long in the tooth - the speakers were bought in 1993! I finally decided it was time to upgrade, so here I am.
I am still not so sure if my Cary CAD-211AE's are the perfect amp for the Violons. There is nothing wrong per se with the frequency response, it's just that it has a very broad warm sound. I have heard these speakers with Wavac amplification. While the 55W Wavac SET's could not match the low frequency extension of the Cary CAD-211's, the Wavac's had a certain cool refined elegance about the sound. The first time I heard the Wavacs I just had to laugh - it was ridiculously good.
And thank you also for the Kuzma recommendation. I am not sure where to get them in Australia though.
