Hi David,
Thanks for the kind words here. BTW, How do you like the Nightingales ????
Anyway, yes, on the Lorelei we're using the Scan's 8545 Rev and the 9700 tweeter. Xover components are class A grade super heavy coils and Musicaps / Sonicraft now as well. Cabling is SL and Quattro Ref. Connectors are superb as well, WBT like.. huge.
With Alain's speakers, the arrays are different, of course. However, we use mostly DST's / Vifa, Seas, and the cabinetry is obviously MDF. Cabling is either Quattro or other, less expensive pure copper wiring. With the book shelves, drivers are TB, which are also used in the Soliloquies, I think. Anyway, I like the way that Alain's speakers kind of mimmick the SL's on a smaller scale. Quite amazing that the sonic characteristics are so similar considering that they come from 2 different backgrounds. Then again, that's why I took on Alain's line in the first place, because the bang for the buck is outstanding, and they have a flawless musical flow with superb, just superb sound staging. Anyway, keep posted because we now have several speaker pairs out for reviews, and it should be a great year indeed, hehehe.
Late,
Klaus
