Next instalment: Arcam CD72 on the way! (Having discovered that my Sony BDP370 sounds better than my CDP...)
New caps have broken in on the 0.5s now, I think I'm fully in love with these speakers. Not in the biblical sense though- that would be quite painful.
The guy I bought them from is a real hifi buff and knew his onions, and he enthused that I wouldn't get better speakers for anything this side of a couple of grand. I have to say I agree with him. The synergy between my amps and speakers is superb, even with my CD6000 it sounds incredible- the speakers disappear immediately, the entire frequency range is detailed and sounds very natural, with practically no ear-fatigue on long sessions.
Treble sounds float round the room in the largest soundstage I've ever heard, everything in its rightful place. And the bass... Solid, deep and well-defined, with enough oomph to rattle my spleen.
To say I'm very happy with my current rig would be a huge understatement. Can't wait for the CD72 to arrive now...
