Apologies for posting on your space Schalk!

BUT

I have to "Tell All"  :giggle:

I had the opportunity to hear the new Version 2 of the BlackWidow. Stunning. I compared it to the ARC Reference 5 (My reference). Somehow you managed to raise it to a new level. Yes, really to use that cliche! How many levels are there ? Damn I dont know.
The bass was tight, strong but with detail. The bass guitar on Katie Melua "Shiver and Shake" separated from the bass drum and growling. Perfect track for that.
Mids are great as always but the top end got lighter ? Almost sweeter. Like the Genesis!

Exclame v1.2
Its a BEAST - minimum 150W into 8Ohm, 200W peaks. Transformer updated 300VA->400VA! Schalk will divulge more ? Already sold one  :)
