[QUOTE="Telephono, post: 49513, member: 731"] Mind is definitely the addition of a good pre-amp. I used an old integrated Musical Fidelity Tempest as a pre before a fellow forumite let me "loan" his unused Electrocompaniet Preampliwire. This made a massive difference to the sound of my system, but the pre had a few electrical issues which needed to be looked at. I asked another forumite, Rudi, to take a look at it for me and he gave the amp a total overhaul ;D. Suffice to say that after the "service" the EC is now amazingly, mind-blowingly brilliant. The sound is beautifully open and detailed, but doesn't stuff glass down your ears. I've also recently added a pair of Quad 22L2s - they replaced a pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis Ones that are now on "loan" to a mate of mine 8). The difference in the highs and lows is profound, but I think I miss the AEs's amazing midrange ::). [/QUOTE]
