Just wanted to follow-up and let you know where things stand. I was using very ineffecient loudspeakers w/my Bryson B-60r and I was not pleased. I was thinking that the amp was not musical enough for my tastes. I always wanted to try tubes so I went ahead and bought an EL-84 based Jolida Jd-102b int. amp. For $580 what a wonderful amp. My dealer recommended a give a listen to JM Lab Chorus 707 spkrs. which are 91.5db sensitive. He ordered a pair and I auditioned in my system for a week without any pressure to buy if I didn't like. Sounded very nice w/the Jolida. Decided to buy. Boxed up the Bryston and was deciding to sell or keep. Being curious, tried the Bryston out w/the JM
Lab 707. Wow! Sounded absolutely great. Better bottom end and the midrange was smoother compared to the Jolida. (To be fair the Jolida probably is not fully broken and stock tubes haven't been upgraded.) What a fine combination, the Bryston/JM Lab Chorus 707. Don't feel I need to upgrade for a while. Kimber 8TC bi-wired bare wire is being used as spk wire. Funny, the Bryston is running much cooler now and it sounds very fine indeed. I'll most likely upgrade in the future and buy spks. at a higher level than what I was planning on now, but, that's down the road. In the mean time will buy more records/CD's and relax listening to music. Thank-you all for your insightful comments. Appreciate it very much. Happy Holidays! Bill
