    They wifey came home so I tossed on Genesis 'Firth of Fifth' CD-R (from
    a 1973 needle drop) as even she has to like that Genesis song. :)
    Got to hear what Tony Banks was playing during the guitar solo.

    I've owned every speaker in the LSiM line, and I'm still blown away by their performance... especially the 703's and 705's. I recently upgraded the preamp and power amp in my 2-channel setup, so I threw the 705's in there to see how they'd do... and let's just say they haven't left yet. I can't believe how much they improve as the gear improves... they punch way above their price point.

    I'm messing with different power cables and interconnects.
    Justin Hayward*John Lodge 'Blue Jays' is on with no complaints
    from the wife. :) I need a lead on which analog RCA cables (and connectors)
    to get from Doug to from the CD player to the pre...

    I'm using Doug's Furez IC's with my Vincent Setup. I've also used the AQ Diamondbacks which are now in my HT setup and some Analysis Plus Oval One's which are going into another setup and I'm staying with the Furez for now!

    Thanks Voltz. I don't have the paypal money freed up like I thought.
    This will have to wait a few days but this is the way I'm going. :)

    Yes, I guess so. They seem to like power. The cleaner the better.
    You may be interested to know that I'm driving them with a
    XPA-200 at the moment. The Vincent pre I got from Voltz
    makes these guys sweet. I've tried them w/ the ole
    Carver 4000t as well. Maybe not such a good combo w/ the
    Emo. My only other option "currently," is a Crown
    Com-tech 810 and I'm not going there. :D

    I'm kind of beating a dead horse here, but the 703's and Plinius 9100 are a match made in heaven. I honestly can't imagine the 703's sounding any better. Using Doug's IC's and SC's.

    Ben: I'm still loving the Usher's I got from you. They've brought me many hours of enjoyment and I'm quite certain they'll be with me for a while. Thanks again!

    Xcapri I had a 6900 great unit. I tried a tube buffer between the pre out and amp in with great success. Widened the soundstage quite a bit

    Thanks for the input on the Plinius. From what I've read (only),
    DSkip's Plinius strengths are the 703's strengths. I was also
    contemplating a Parasound 2250 v2
