Well a lot of you gave me advise on my next purchase in my 2 channel system,if ya remember I was thinking of a second amp to monoblock,or maybe changing my source a good universal player maybe with sacd.The majority ruled a good dedicated cd player,so after opinoins and many reviews of a few brands,I started looking for a cambridge audio,with rotel being my back up plan.Well didnt end up with either,found what I thought was a good deal on a music hall mmf cd25...$350,11/2 years old unmodified.Many thanx guys,this is the GLUE the system was needing!When I took the amp off my receiver and hooked it to a carver preamp...good upgrade,sent the preamp for a common upgrade in the two channel mode...better upgrade,music hall player...best upgrade so far.I liked my RTi8's,but was thinking of moving into LSi9's,now I think I may just keep them (for a while anyway) the new player really has done justice to speakers,tweeters are not so bright,and it really seperates the instruments and the vocals,just adds a higher level to the whole system!Gonna be satisfied for now,but in the very near future,going for a couple of common mods,I hear your cheating yourself out if ya dont have them done.Once again,thanx for all the input.

    Swap out the 8's and get those 9's. You'll be even more impressed with the sound.
