I know that ppl lean towards CAT on this forum but ... I have some concerns about the tonal balance I will get from this combo.
Both Avalon's and CAT's qualities are most often described as pristine clarity, fine sharp details,speed,very extended top/bottom frequencies,great PRAT etc as opposed to organic sense, natural timbres, an easy flowing liquidity.
And since I like the latter more (i.e. organic sound) I'm a bit afraid that I may not like the sound of CAT & Avalon combo. That is why I'm looking for alternatives.
