Me too I made a listening session using my cd's with Vitus cd player and amps and realize that DB7 needs more power than Ceramique series. Nice sound, great detail, excellent controlled midbass butoverall it's not in the same league of Grand Ceramique or Exquisite series (both more expensive); I prefer the crisp midrange and resolution from Accuton midrange than the new mix double-woofer plus beryllium tweeters used by DB7. New line has better appearance (now fantastic shape and previously very good) but I suspect that DB7 & 9 are products made in the essay to satisfy the demands from Russian and Chinese market and they will not leave a great piece of history in the audio speakers world in Europe or USA (also due to retail prices that are very very expensive).
