Isochronism - Thanks. The Solovox are indeed interesting. Together with the Cardinal monoblocks, their sound is seductive and addictive. I looked up your speakers as I had not heard of them. They are very intriguing!
Charles1dad - In going from the Silverbacks to the Solovoxes, I gave up frequency extremes, the capacity to listen properly to large scale classical music in that room, and the capacity to play music loudly in that room. But I have another very good system in another room that is suitable for the aforementioned Solovox "deficiencies." The Solovox is the best speaker I know of and can afford for solo vocals, certain solo instrumentals (especially guitar and strings), small ensemble classical, jazz, and blues, and even some small scale orchestral works. If money and room aesthetics were less limiting, I would upgrade from the Solovox to the Shindo Latours and make sure they were properly attended with the best Shindo electronics.
OP - Have you considered Shindo amplification, e.g., the Cortese? I heard the Cortese driving my Solovoxes and the pairing was wonderful.
Best Regards,
Steven
