Nuforce 9.02 + Eggleston speakers

i'll let you know in six weeks ................promise. bob smith, designer and manufacturer for nuforce speakers is currently upgrading my S9's and their respective outboard crossovers. never got to listen to them as they were purchased and arriv... 
Nuforce amp with PS Audio Powerplant Premier
this is a system related question: are you really driving ML Electrostatics with those amps ?does it work ? Jason at NuForce has doubts about the amps' ability feed hard to drive speakers. i have seen them drive DQ-20's impressively but have to as...

hey guys - this may belong on another post, but here goes. blindjim say's " ... the Cam 840 just might not be entirely run in as I've seen here online posts saying it needs upwards of a years use or from 300-400 hr". Yikes !!! ....which brings me ... 
no excitement from my Cambridge 840 cd

Celtic 66 - The unit is preowned and had minimum 200 hours on it with the original owner. That was my first "hope" ...maybe it needs more time. Thanks - BTW the Oppo 83SE intrigues me especially because NuForce is doing mods to that unit. $1250 fo...

The final insult !! - i just did an a/b with my harman kardon RECORDER !! and the HK won by a mile. i am now certain that the 555 needs breaking in. you know, one thing bothers me ........... we pay exorbitant amounts of money for that simple plea... 
Sony SCD-C 555ES
Howie - thanks, i'll take this into consideration and try what you suggest. my system and room, however, have never been anything but "un-bright" - the only times i've experienced brightness at all was when interconnects or speaker wire was still ... 
Sony SCD-C 555ES
First of all, i thank everyone who has offered their advice/opinion. I checked my interconnects twice and they are properly hooked up. My system is strictly 2 channel. Let me add to my original post what components i'm presently using: Parasound 2...
