Thanks.

    Tommy,

    It depends on the sound of your overall system. If you want a thicker or warmer mid range, the 666-M is an ideal choice. If you want a more balanced presentation without highlight any particular frequencies, the Wave Kinetics A10-U8 is great in a sense that it dosen't seem to change anything. You only know when you take them out. The improvement is primarily in the area of contour of imaging.

    Would you say the A10-U8 has similar characteristics as the Finite Elemente Cerabase?

    Hi Piano Tuner,

    I am thinking about the Wave Kinetics n2s vs the Harmonix 999 or 900 for my Wilson X1/Grand Slamms. specifically, i am hoping they will further improve the upper bass response (tighter) and mid bass response (cleaner).

    What would you recommend? They weigh about 275 kilos each...so i only wish to do this once! thanks!

    Lloyd,

    The honest answer is you have to try. My experience with Harmonix dated back more than half a decade ago.
