Thanks, Charlie and Sbrown, for your responses. I really appreciate your input. Seems like you both agree that I'm on the right track, either way. And, that an improvement over the Quattro Fil's is certainly attainable, if I pursue it.
I'm curious, though, Sbrown, what did you like better about the MSE II's? Do your impressions correspond with Charlie's? To wit, were the Ridge Street's more involving than the Quattro Fil's? Did you feel they possessed more detail? Were they more natural-sounding? And, are you using them with tubes, or, solid-state? Also, is your system analog-based, digital, or, both?
