Like me it takes auditioning eight different amps amd pre's, ten different cd players, and six cable brands to find a combo that works. Not to mention I've speant the last two years moving the speakers around the room and placing them to the nth degree for the best balance of soundstage, imaging, and bass responce. Tell you the truth I'm almost ready to start over with a different brand, but I will have to say that there will always be a special place in my heart for the little n805's that started it all. The only time they sounded bright was with Bryston electronics (w/ Transparent cable) and the new PS Audio amp was a BIG waste of time and talk about a gimmick. I even let the bugger sit with the stereophile burn in cd playing for two weeks, and neither my girlfriend or I could stand being in the same room.B&W 805 w/24" Sound anchor stands

Musical Fidelity A3cr
Cardas netural refrence speaker cable
Cardas cross icThere is something happening between these different components that makes magic in my room. God I must have drove my local dealer mad:)
I will have to say that the biggest differences were SACD, the cardas cable (best I've ever heard) and the Musical Fidelity amps. The amp being the largest difference.
Have a good day
