Mike,

WOW! That's a good question. Bill system is mind-blowingly good last time i heard it (about 6 months ago). When he added the Allen Wright custom preamp i believe it went 5 clicks higher than the first time i hear it a few years ago when Allen was in town. Right now i made some mistakes in setup and need to go back to the Nirvana S-L and re-angle the midrange driver. Sometimes i sit here and try "the impossible" just for shagrins. Hey, it all about having fun and trying new things. i look at all this like toys to play with to (hopefully) enhance my musical pleasures.

Bill's current system is so transparent, beautifully even frequency to frequency and musical that i find it hard to improve (but i bet Bill has changed the system since i last heard it). i just sent Bill two sets of the FINAL Daruma 3II as he reviewed it a few months back and liked them, but i needed them back for my review of the FINAL system in this month's Enjoy the Music.com Review Magazine. i fell lucky to have heard Bill's system. Bill DID hear my system with the Duo's ALMOST optimized, but i did not know about angling the mid back them (MANY thank Kurt Strain!). Ask Bill about my Uno setup. The Duos have, well... Please read my review of the Duos in the upcoming Ultimate Audio available at the CES, stores, or through subscription. Can not let the cat of of the bag for now.

Let's simply say i am sending back my Unos and bought the Duos. Hmmm... i'm not feeling too sleepy, maybe i should start redoing the Duos back to where i felt they were optimum? Naaa, it's Saturday night at 12pm. i know of this club that stays open VERY late...

Enjoy the music (watching something wAcKy on MTV right now called Dumba$$... what a bunch of wackos... but i find i can't seem to make myself change the channel either!),
