So here's an interesting development:
A few months ago, I got a call from John "Fritz" Heiler of Fritz Speakers in L.A. He and I have spoken on the phone from time to time over the years, starting way back when I had Merlin TSM's.
Anyway, he said that he often demo's his new Carbon 7 SE's at shows with a very pricey 300B SET amp, and he wanted to send me a pair of these monitors for review and to see how they performed with my ANK Kit 1. I was skeptical, given that the Carbon 7 SE is rated at a mere 88 dB sensitivity, but Fritz assured me that this was a very conservative rating and reiterated his offer. I agreed and have been living with the Carbon 7 SE's mated to the Kit 1 for about 3 weeks. I'm working on a review and will post it soon on the blog. Should make for some fun reading... ;-)
