I think that the Svelte pads would be first, but in my own situation the combination of the pads plus Rollerblock Jr's pulled everything together. The pads alone made a huge difference in resolution, dimensionality and in the overall sound of the speakers. When I added the rollerblock jr's the imaging improved dramatically. For instance, on a well recorded human voice, the singer moved to the appropriate height, well above the top of the speakers, assumed a more three dimensional position - forward or backward within the soundstage, and the size of the singers mouth shrunk to the size of a real mouth - not some diffuse blob. All of a sudden, I could close my eyes and imagine that there really was a singer standing there in front of me. For me, the things worked.

Thanks for asking.
