Thanks all for your posts. It's been interesting to read how others landed on SF speakers.

I've recently installed a Lyra Etna cartridge and it has pushed my system in exactly the direction I was hoping. While I love the warmth and bloom of the Futuras, I was missing some of the dynamic slam, detail and extension that I had with the Sashas. The Etna retains all of the midrange warmth and bloom of the Air Tight PC1, but with greater high and low extension and dynamics. In some systems it might be too lean, but seems just right with the Amati Futuras and Doshi tube electronics. Just another reminder to me that it's all about the total system, not the individual components.
