Made a number of significant changes over the past year, notably the Ayre CD player, Mac C500 pre-amp, and the Audience power conditioner. I also upgraded to Tara Labs power cords with PAD speaker cables and interconnects. I am very pleased with the sound of my current system - very detailed and open yet musical and engaging. However, one can't help but to wonder how a more capable pair of speakers would sound in this room...
Adam I found the leading edges were cleaner when I used BDR #3 cones under my CD3MKll (every little bit helps)!! I haven't owned any BAT pre's but my Calypso's performance was improved with isolation. The sum of these two tweaks was a big improvement in leading edge hash!!!
It looked as if you exceeded your stated limit, but IMO you spent the extra in the right place with the KS 3033 cables, enjoy the 3.4's now that they'll be well fed and singing!!!!
