The room is still a work in progress, but I'll get some pics once it's a little more put together. Work is getting in the way a little bit ATM. I am very pleased with the Olympica II's. They have no trouble filling my room with gorgeous sound. My impressions so far are that they are great for vocals, percussion and piano. They just have a really enjoyable natural sound quality, while still giving a lot more detail than the Kef R700s I had previously. I'm very happy with them and look forward to spending a lot of time enjoying them for many years.

A few months back I bought a pair of new Auditor M's without stands, because they didn't fit in my budget at the time. I figured that I'd buy them asap. And I ordered the stands three weeks ago, but yesterday I got the "sad" news that they just sold the last pair of stands a week before, and are not being made anymore. No why I say "sad" with the quotes, is because I am gonna sell the Auditor M's and buy Olympica II's But first the Auditors have to be sold. I'll keep you guys in the loop Oh, by the way, they will be ordered in Graphite

It always gives me energy talking to a fellow audiophile addict You've got a great setup, enjoy it as it is and don't worry about what it "could" be. Hope our paths cross again!

Yes we are. I was taking a look at possibly upgrading my Ma6500 to the Ma6700 he has for sale. I'm also looking at going tubes. Haven't really decided yet which way I want to go.
