Stilskin,

Just curious why they are leaving and what is coming instead? And why of course?

Thanks,
Ahmet
Yes, my choice is to enter the world of low watt amplifiers namely Lamm and a high probability of horn speakers.
There is definitely something with Lamm used with high efficient speakers and uncomplicated cross overs that is beyond words for me at the moment.
Still waiting for the magic moment when my GV break in.
I have done some experimenting with speaker wires and so far the speakers are very revealing of differences.

I experimented with placement and have been quite satisfied with a wider separation and radical toe in so that the image is well in front of the listening seat.
I also have them 5 feet out from the wall and I sit 14 feet away.

I have found this sounds better than close spacing and minor toe in as reccommended by manufacturer.

The image is stable, tight and well focused and the room is taken out of the equation somewhat.
I would like to know how to distinguish between the newest improved version and the original ones.
Do the serial numbers give a clue?
OCC internal wiring
Mechanical grounding of drivers
Soft brass screws and washers for driver
Copper shorting rings on midrange
Larger brass cones and floor pads
5 way binding posts with tellerium copper
Occ binding jumpers
Don't know what # this started at but it is very recent.
Would assume that if it has the brass screws, it has all the upgrades.
