@ Jmcgrogan2 Gotcha' and am in agreement. Maybe kickback warm would work. Lak is selling some Vermeils...I wonder how they compare to the Moontails as the new Jade entry level. Does the Vermeil suffer from any loss of resolution and detail compared to the Hybrid? Or does the Hybrid more enrich the mids/midbass and and warmth? I have hear the Hybrid and Reference and preferred the Hybrid for the reasons you cite. It also makes me think of some Vermeil speaker cable!
@ MapmanThe DNM's have been around and always looked interesting. I haven't heard them as they are hard to get on this side of the big pond and resale might be tough....
@ Audiolabyrinth Thank you, my system is up to date here on Audiogon. My room is my living room and definitely not optimal, but a nice place to sit with paintings, books and a persian rug. The room is 15x18 with almost 10 ft ceilings 1895 Victorian with a bay window at one end and open French doors on the other....home sweet home. I often wish for another 1000sf so I could have an office and a listening room, but we are cozied up in 1850sf total and our rooms multitask!
