I compliment you on a very nice system. You have put together a nice looking, tidy, set up.. and one Im sure allows for much enjoyment!

The last paragraph of your post describing your preference for a balanced, coherent, and purity of human voice with less importance of big bass..is one I also share. Im sure the Cremona's however, give you that lower end nicely!

Quite a collection of LP's and Cd's in storage, which no doubt you are just itching to play! Id love to take a box or 2 off your hands!! :)

Congrats once again and enjoy your beautiful system!

Love your system! Bet it sounds fantastic with the VAC amps through the Cremonas. Well done!

Congratulations on your return to the world of hi-fi bliss. I can only wonder what hobbies occupied your time when you didn't have this stereo around to tweak.
