I only wish I could have gotten the other pair that he had, which were a bit smaller than the La Bohemes for my downstairs system. The Rigolettos are pretty good sounding but not really close to the La Bohemes.
I have heard very few speakers with the ability to create realism like the La Boheme. They keep improving as you keep putting better gear behind them. I am glad you have put good amps on them...I will be putting the JJ back on again soon with the NAT Plasma to see if that or the Wall Opus M50 monos is a better competitor to the mighty Aries Cerat Diana integrated I have in house. Now that really makes the Odeons sing! So do KR Audio amps.

As you pointed out, a bit more power would have been nice, and I would have loved to have it. Being forced into retirement right after I got the Odeons forced some compromises, though, so I sacrificed some power for very high quality at the volume levels I listen at 99% of the time. So far, it's worked out for me.
I have some cabling changes in the works right now. I'll let you know how they pan out.
Yeah, I hear ya, sometimes life makes it's own rules. I just use the custom cabling that came with the speakers. It is from the German company Einstein, which makes top notch amps and preamps but used to make cables too. I have no idea what's in them in terms of metals (assume copper though given size and weight) or design/construction. However, they seem to let the speaker express itself fully...or maybe there is even another gear I am missing from them??? I would love to try Goertz silver foil but this would get very expensive fast.
