Description

I'll be taking new pictures around January 8, 2003 once I'm moved into my new house in Toronto for my work term. These pictures of the system are from my sound room in Waterloo during my academic term. Next upgrade will be the Piega C8's or Jm Lab Mezzo Utopias. Also interested in SET and OTL amps. I need some recommendations from you guys on SET or OTL amps that will pair well with the above-mentioned speakers.

Once again, thanks for all the help on the forums this quarter.

Happy holidays and hope you receive all the toys you asked from Santa :)

Talons have a very stable 8 ohm impedence and are 91db sensitive. Really though they are far more sensitive... some say around 96db. They work great with only only 10-12 watts.

Have you ever considered Talons? Much better than the mezzo utopias imho but ive never heard the piegas... give em a listen...

Wow your system is really growing by leaps and bounds. As for the speakers i would reccomend going with the Piegas. First of all i essentially own the uptopias and the more i listen to them the less impressed i am. Also the piegas would be much easier to move and it seems that you move around a lot. My only reccomendations would be to get some nite speaker cables and another nite power cord for your amps. I have no experience with tubes except for the fact that i know that Tenors rock! I see those in my future actually .... Great work with the improvements and simplification of your system. - Ian
