GamuT S-7 or S-9 speaker

I have the CD 3 and am extremely happy with it and have had no mechanical problems. For a CDP and a SS one at that the sound is full with extended highs full mid range and a strong fast bass. If your thinking SS I'd definitely give GamuT a listen it has surprising fullness/warmth.

I listened to the Gamut room and was most impressed. There have been criticisms in the various show reports, particularly , of the first day, but I thought they were great. That means the whole package, including the electronics. The sound was powerful and authorative, detailed and neutral, but lacking the SS amp edge and harshness, which drove me to tubes.
The Gamut amps and CD players have a good reputation of course. I do'nt know enough about alternatives, to suggest one. Except, I did read a review, I think on 6moons, saying the Accuphase amps were a bit more musical, tube like, than Gamut. For me then, that would push me to Accuphase or Luxman, which I personally would buy, if I was not sold on SET's

i just bought gamut s7 speakers and i was shock by the sound of this amazing speakers. shock shock shock, i had wilson maxx 2s, lumen whites, utopias, but this speakers are out of this world. my previous experience with audio gear was change a gear you have subtle difference of sound but when tom told me he was sure of big difference with sound i didint believe him at first but im so happy i did it.
