CJ 16mk1, 16mk2, 17mk1 and 17mk2 difference?

BTW,I see that pre has sold. I know if I had the Act iv 'that' pre is probably better,huh??

I used to have the cj Premier 17LS Series 1 and upgraded to a 16LS Series 2. HUGE improvement over the 17LS Series 1 (haven't heard the 17 LS Series 2). I've had my 16 for about 2 years - not changing it anytime soon.

In order of sound quality: ACT II, ART, 16ls2 and them a toss up between the 17ls2 and Premier 18.

Hey, Johnny--How ya doin??---Whatjd and I must have read the same add---wherein the seller say's his 17,2 was better than the 16,2,.--- Well if I had one up for sale; mine would be better than Art,4.---right??

Boy what an involved question. I will give you my opinion after having owned a 17lsI and having upgraded to the 16lsII of which I still own. The 16lsII as compared to the 17lsI is much more detatiled everywhere in the audio spectrum; it was a significant upgrade. I have not heard the 17lsII long enough to give an indepth opinion. What I did hear however did not make me want to sell my 16lsII and buy one; so maybe that says it all. However, if you owned an ART and enjoyed that you will be very close to that level of performance with the 16lsII. Good Luck.
