    Well played.
    -- evoking the famous story of "Silent Cal" Coolidge.

    Both his dry Yankee wit and his frugality with words became legendary. His wife, Grace Goodhue Coolidge, recounted that a young woman sitting next to Coolidge at a dinner party confided to him she had bet she could get at least three words of conversation from him. Without looking at her he quietly retorted, “You lose.”

    Good way of looking at it. Or at least you better use that excuse.

    Hi Steve,

    They are smooth. Based on things I heard about the Q100's, I thought they'd be tipped up or bright but, thankfully, they're very well balanced with gobs of detail. Tonal accuracy is quite good. I guess KEF worked hard on changing the reproduction between the previous model & the current model. I like them quite a bit!

    Nice aquarium.
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, TriangleArt Reference SE with Pass Labs Xono Phono Preamp, Walker Precision Motor Drive, ClearAudio Goldfinger Diamond v2 cartridge and Origin Conquerer Mk3c tonearm, Polk Audio "Signature" Reference Series 1.2TL with complete mods, Pass Labs X0.2 three chassis preamp, PS Audio PerfectWave DAC MkII, Krell Evolution 505 SACD Player, Pioneer Elite SC-LX701, Oppo UDP-205 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds.

    Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.
