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

I see people saying the 17mk2 is better than the 16mk1 or mk2.

I used to own an ART and loved it...needed to sell it for the $ and am now considering all of these...and am reading mixed opinions. Anyone have any real experience with hearing these units?

Listen mainly to Jazz and female vocals...using Magnepans and will, likely, use one of the CJ solid state amps.

Thanks

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

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.
