It could be too, that given your room at home is larger than mine, and treated that it would lessen some of the forward qualities I experienced. My room BTW is untreated.

Another thing to consider is speaker efficiency et al ( I know you already know that) - the GM70 have more than double the wattage of my Lafon 300Bs. My O/96s have an efficiency of 96 dB.

The GM70s are great amps - and I know John D does think they make a good match with the O/96s.

I'm hoping the treated room would offset however I won't be back in England for a while, meanwhile it is a tough decision to treat rental.

The O/96's in combination with the green boxes where fantastic, I'm pretty sure the current zingali are out matched.
