A cool 1960s retro design, the C22 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier has been updated to modern standards to deliver a performance on par with any other McIntosh preamplifier. Electromagnetic input switching provides reliable, noiseless and distortion-free operation. Low distortion levels of all types are less than 0.08%, allowing music to be presented with total transparency and accuracy.

I thought you loved the Ascendo F. Curious as to why you decided to look at other speakers. What speakers are you looking to audition? Hope you find the right one.
That is a awesome pic of the loudspeaker. Congratulations on the upgrade. Would love to see a pic of our new room. Did the SR-Z1 make a big difference?
Lapierre, So sorry to read about your misfortunes. But good to know you and family are fine. I wish you well and good luck in your search for a new home. Music will eventually follow. Take care.
Pierre, How is the room coming? I have ordered my panels from GIK. Kevinzoe did mention the same tri-trap position for my room which is 12.5 X 13.5 X 9. I will experiment and then decide. GIK did not suggest diffusers as of now. They said that my carpet acts like atrap for high and mid frequencies. So I have 2 tri-traps and 2 monster panels on order that are due next week. 1 very important thing I learnt while setting up my room - speaker positioning. Very critical. Everything else is secondary. BTW, you have some great gear.
