That is a nice room you got there...

I am sure these babies will sing. Do post your experience once you have them in.
What amplifiers are you using with these ? Ava ?

A very interesting brand this one.
Looks like HP has taken a giant leap. Great stuff buddy. After all you are finally "there". Let us know as you go over to Source and Amplification selection.

Your room size is envious

Sir,
I have never heard your speakers - nor have I auditioned the AR amps - how may I suggest ? If I cannot listen, what advise can I offer ? The TACT I am aware of & have heard them on several occasions....

All the Best !

Set it us - listen to it & then decide if you need to buy anything;

The friend who uses the same setup as mine has the AVA pre amp....He loves it....

They have been noted for their good match....

He is coming over sometime in March ... I can try the AVA then.....

Yes... may be you could help with a shortlist on the good stuff and the bad,.....

heard the classical piece by Mahler (Symphony 5) the other day....
it was cool and different

regards
