thank you Bob,
I see your ARC similarities, I always loved Audio Research sound as well as Sonus Faber speakers, i think this new combo Futuras & ref 150 its much better than VT100 & Homage I use to have but its early days as all pieces are new and need some burning in, I see you have 75SE & Ayre VX-5 TWENTY do you listen to both or have preference for one? I have read some great things about AyreVX5 amp.
My next job is to get better cable and have been reading about it on the forums, wonder if you had a chance to compare different speaker interconnects and power cords?
I used to have Valhalla cables through my previous system but many recommends Shunyata and Sain Line systems cables as well, wonder if you had a chance to try any of above?
Regards,
Andrew

Plurn,
yeah thanks great movie, Plasma is not part of the 2ch system I have Integra 80.3 running my 5.1 surround system but since Amati replaced my front surround speakers I'm planing to replace them with set of in-wall mounted front and center.
Regards,
Andrew
