I really like your posts and your system, THE only thing I would suggest is to try some cables that don't have boxes on them. I used to use MIT's and it wasn't until I got away from them that my system really showed a lot more JUMP factor. Just a thought. I love the Proacs and the Ayre electronics, good job man.
