That must be you Keith! Great to hear from you for what seems like ages.

Yes, the YG's have been replaced by the Crystal Cable Arabesque Mini.
I found the Carmel's sounded their best at loud volumes which is not a good idea in a congested townhouse complex!

I found the Mini's to have a more refined, open and delicate sound. And they sound damn fine at low volumes as well.

I had to laugh, you left out a million other amps & stand mounts you've owned buddy Anyway, great to see you here

Great to hear from you too Bodhi!

Yes, could go on forever in my introductions if I mentioned all my little speakers and integrated amps as well. Haha!

Catch you around.

Nice to see you here as well Shane.

Thanks asindc! I really love the looks of the Symposium Isis racks. They sound good too if that is a term one can use for racks! Only quibble is they are a finger print magnet and not that easy to clean.

Come to think of it David, I might go through my entire story in the members systems subforum. Small speakers, cables and all!

Wow, I missed this thread somehow. You don't see a Crystal loudspeaker often. Great gears you have there!

[ausvic]

Thanks TommyC.

I was very lucky to get a pair of Crystal Cable Arabesque Mini's from the first batch of 30 or so released worldwide. Shall be keeping mine for life me thinks!
