Gorgeous system!
I have never owned CLS's but always wanted to try them with the Kinergetics woofers and came close to buying that system years ago. So it is very interesting (and a relief!) to hear you were unhappy with them and prefer the Depth.
One question - you mentioned no harsh, glare or grainy sound. This to me is the holy grail of high end audio, very difficult to achieve, and I am particularly impressed since your floor appears to be hard (tile?) and I would imagine very reflective.
I am suffering from a hard, reflective and occasionally fatiguing sound on all but the best recordings. I have Tympani IV a's (more forgiving) and also a 23.5. So maybe the culprit is my ARC SP11 or Sony SCD-1?
Again, beautiful system and thanks for the post.
PS
Where do you live?
Can we come over for drinks?
