Most compatable amp for ACI Sapphire III

I owned Sapphire IIIs for a number of years, never thought of them as bright, very natural and non-fatiguing. A couple of things: Those 30' runs of speaker cable are awefully long, anyway to shorten them? The Sapphire IIIs are a 1st order design. They can sound harsh if you listen to them too high above their main listening axis. This is also true of Vandys, Thiels, etc. Correct height is with you seated in a normal chair, and the speakers on stands about 24-26" tall. I'm trying to picture your room, and it sounds like the speakers are quite close to a lot of stone and hardwood. These materials can be extremely reflective and make the sound very hard sounding. Just as an experiment, you might try moving the speakers way out and listening nearfield. Or try draping a heavy blanket behind the speakers. I know, it wouldn't be permanent, but it will help you find out if that was the main problem. Hang in there, I think your system has great potential. I'm not familiar with the interconnects you're using, you might want to try something else to see if they are part of the problem. I know it can be frustrating, took me years to really be satisfied. I do strongly feel that the speakers are not the problem. You can go nuts swapping speakers, so I'd play with the other variables.

Well, the holidays are over, I can write a brief update on this combination. I'm loving the speakers...I moved them off the hearth, away from the back wall, and they sound much more spacious, more bass. I had a religious experience listening to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" album, the speakers disappeared and this wall of sound just blossomed in front of me.
I'm still having some sensitivity to brights but I have come to the conclusion this is a thing with my eyes because I have been having the same problem when other people haven't in different settings...maybe I'm having a symptoms of an ear problem that runs in the family. Anyway, I'm very happy with the speakers. I have been happily rediscovering music, pulling out old CD's I hadn't listened to in years.
The Jolida has a drawback, no subwoofer out...for me to add a subwoofer would be a problem. Doesn't make much sense to wire it in such a way as to run it through a powered sub thereby bypassing the Jolida. So, no sub in my future until the warranty on the Jolida runs out and I have my father (electrical engineer) add an sub-out to it. He called them, they said they'd get back w/ him re: if they could modify it but never called back. I wouldn't be inclined to send it off for god knows how long and be without my music.
So that's the short & sweet of it.

Just use the speaker level inputs. A Titan II LE would be the logical choice, perfect match with the Sapphire IIIs. I love the combination! One of my friends just called them to order, they told him it would be at least a month, be prepared to wait but it's worth it.
