The most critical components are the Patron tequila bottles which I find really enhance the floral notes.
I’m possibly wanting to upgrade my speakers with stand mounts $2k-$4k. Fritz? ZU? ATC? CSS Criton? Dynaudio? Watkins Generation 4, Buchardt, Tyler Audio, Philharmonic etc.
I want (of course) clean and revealing speakers without being fatiguing. I’m leaning towards the Fritz (model?) now.
I listen to literally everything from punk to classical.
I’m also going to upgrade my speaker cables to Audio Sensibility Signature or Statements or Zavfino. Also, I will probably eventually upgrade the umbilical between Farad and Mano with (likely) Audio Sensibility
Finally, I will soon be adding an Alan Maher Maxwell.
Please offer critiques and advice concerning my existing system and my planned upgrades.
