Wow! I finally have a sound I've been striving for. While my Amati Futura's sounded good, they were just a tad bit too warm with my Ayre gear (IMO). The Wilson Sasha DAW's provide just the right amount of crisp sound but yet still warm if that makes sense. I'm very happy with these new speakers and cables! Staying up too late... can't stop listening!

I love talking about gear just as much as everyone else, but I've wanted to get my system to sound a certain way so I can stop thinking about it and just enjoy and discover new music, because that's what it's all about for me. I think I'm there. It just sounds so right!
