Unfortunately Steven Jain at PNF was unable to complete my order of ICs (unresponsive, and after a month and a half I had to file a paypal claim...). The money for the ICs was a gift so I have it marked for audio.
My most recent upgrade was powering my LSI15's with a B&K REF200.2. I have mid grade audio quest IC (Panther from CD to PRE) and a AQ (solid core silver plated LGC) connecting the works with PNF Symphony speaker cable.
For my next upgrade I was considering trying a pair of Kimber Hero (copper with teflon di-electric which is similar construction to the PNF ICONs I was looking at) or buying sonicaps and mill resistors to mod the crossovers of the LSI15s and the LSIc.
Any thoughts on what would give me the greatest improvement would be great. Thanks guys.

I tried Kimber Hero IC's and they sounded a bit veiled to me in my rig. I tried DH Labs Air Matrix IC's and those sounded so much more open and detailed. Highly recommended.
