Hi Guys,

First of all, thank you for all these great response, I'm still so amazed by it.
Sorry that i didn't provide more info on my preferences.

I listen to Mostly Vocals, Instrumental, and recently listens to Classical, but I also listens to POP& Soft Rock hear and there.

My CDs are mostly XRCD, HQCD, HDCD and SACD.

Ive heard these with Rega Osiris integrated and matching CD player, they war hooked up with MIT Magnum XLR interconnects and a pair of MIT Magnum Bi-wired. They sounded Great but i somehow find it too solid on the mid range and lack treble and bass was surprisingly strong.
Ive heard them with Manley Valves Setup, very sweat Midrange but just a touch too layback with Rock tracks.

I basically like good Treble ( which i could do with a set of super tweeter, which i can't get a hold of), Sweet Fluid Midrange and tight accurate bass.

I think I prefer SS Amps too, I was told to look at only Pure Class A Amps for the Kensintons and got recommend to ACCUPHASE ( Anymore have these hook up to Tannoy Prestige. Was told that that these are the Ultimate Hi Ends and very reliable.

With Budget I just wanted value for the money, but most of all matches my speakers, as I have test them with Krell Integrated and they sounded not bad for the money.

By the way my listening room is quite small, 3x3.5m , 2.4m ceiling.
What Manley did you listen to? I guess it was not Snapper, cause they are quit funky and PRaTy on rock with Kensington.
They were NEO250 mono blocks with Jumbo Shrimp Pre.
Haven't Heard the Snapper, bit too too bass are they?

If I am the Jim that you are referring to then, no I don't have any super tweeters.
