Thanks for the tip.

Wow, real long. My Kef did take a while to open-up but I don't remenber it took so much time... BTW I also tried the 140 MK2. Very nice, but it didn't match as well with my system as with the D18. I guess the electronic are very important with those speakers, maybe more than other speakers.

Hi CnoEvil, Thanks for your reply Do you confirm the long time burn-in required for those speaker ? :roll:

Hi, Just to give you a little update on my system. I keep on with the "British sound" which I particularly appreciate and treated myself with a nice upgrade : I've just traded my KEF IQ70 to a pair of Proac D18 Rosewood. I've heared them with my A21SE / Hegel HD20 for over 2 hours in my Hi FI...

Hi All, Just a litlle update on my system evolution since I started this post. I keep enjoying everyday the Sugden A21SE and really think I found my partner for a long time. I also bought a new DAC (Hegel HD20) wich helped improving the sound pretty much in all domain compared to the...

Hope you don't have other bets here and there... :grin: Cheers :cheers:

Hi all, I've just received my Sugden A21SE and it is fantastic... Indeed. All what I was looking for : very musical sound and yet very precise with great details, wide stage, and this little thing that makes your foot just get into the groove. So good. I really loved the Audio Analogue...

Thanks for you answer CnoEvil, it chears me up a bit for christmas ! I have always loved listening to music and Hi Fi was a revelation for me when I got into it last year. And eventhough my present system is entry level, improving it is now part of my objective (and my budget) for alway more...

Thanks. I think it should be a good match too and so did the seller when I told him I had a sound a little too bright right now. He told me that this amp needed lively and vivacious speakers. And given what's said on each review/post on that amp, It really looks like the sound I'm looking for...

Hi all, I hope you enjoyed your Christmas. Just to give you some news, I've just hung-up up with a very nice guy who wants to sell his Sugden A21SE (bought in 2006) for 1500€. Following your advice, I inquired on Sugden and a priori their amp are very warm and musical and the A21SE looks as...

Thank you all for your time and complete answers. "Unfortunately, your room and position looks about as bad as it could get...." This is a very bad/sad news because unfortunatelly there is not much I can do (it is not possible to move the all system to the Left Hand wall because it wouldn't...

Thanks for your feedback. Just for my knowledge, why is it a difficult/reflective room ? Because of the plate glass window behind ? Regarding valve amp, what brand would you recommend in my price range ? (I don't know nothing on valve amp...) Last question, do you think changing my speaker...

Thank you for your answers. Regarding my budget il would be from 1 000€ to 1 200€, ideally no more. But as always, if it is worth waiting a month or two in order to buy a 1500€/1 800€ amplifier that will match with my expectation and deliver the sound I'm looking for, I will definitively...

Hi CnoEvil, Thank you very much for your answer. So you wouldn't consider a Kandy K2 considering my "sound taste" and brightness problem. I actually think you're right about my room which might be a little bright... But I really like the IQ70 and so does my wife (those speaker are...

Hi, I've been into Hi Fi for one year now with the following equipment (cf. signature) knowing that my system is dedicated to dematerialized music (AIFF format mostly but also MP3 from 320 kbts to 192 kbts). I listen to almost all kind of music : Electronic, Funk, World, Jazz, Dub, Reggae, R&B...
