oh, one last thing I could add. what type of interconnects do you use. I went from tara labs to acoustic zen and the sound opened up a whole lot, and became fuller. I get them direct from the owner in calf. mr lee, I calls him dr. zen and I call his wife lady zen, they get a kick out of it. tell them damon from atlanta recommended them to you, they might remember me. will get you a good price. and last you didn't mention the speakers you use. cj gear loves open baffle design stuff like vandersteen, aerial, and alon/nola which I have and psb works excellent with them.
