Nice system you have put together there. When I went to Audio Connection I saw the MBL's but did not ask for a listen. Maybe I should have! Maybe when I next travel to Sydney. (I'm from Melbourne).

System edited: My new Cary CAD-211AE amplifiers arrived today. For the time being I am keeping the CAD-805AE's and will experiment with bi-amping the speakers. The CAD-211AE's are fresh out of the ...

Shane, I am also "Amfibius" in the asylum. My speakers are difficult to drive because of the bass section - it is a conventional woofer in a box. No doubt Acapella padded back the...

Thanks for your comments, Shane. BTW, are you the same "Shane from Aus" on AudioAsylum? I know what you mean about Nik. He has been trying for ages to get me to buy one of his Tan...

Oneobgyn, thanks for the vote of confidence :) I am a young physician (still in training), and I practice in Australia. I am quite disillusioned with medicine and I have in fact stopped practising....

OK, this is an interesting development. A few days after I got the speakers up and running, I developed a problem with the left plasma tweeter. It would not fire correctly and the output wa...

Nice system, downunder. I have a pair of Cary CAD-211AE's on order and was considering getting the CAD-500MB's to bi-amp my speakers with, since they are meant to be a fairly good tonal match. Your...

Yes, a proper listening room is in the plans ... Unfortunately I can't do that until I buy a new house. Saving up for the deposit at the moment!

Thanks for your suggestion Arthur. I haven't really had time to play with speaker positioning since I got my panels. Before I got the panels, the imaging was definitely better with a large degree o...

Your system is very close to mine :) I am using Cary CAD-805AE + ProAc D38 speakers. Very curious what yours must sound like.
