Description

After 15 years I thought I was off the merry go round with my low powered SET and Klipsch system. I had been swapping components for years in search of the best bang for the buck. Was happy for 5 years with an Almarro A318B and Modded Klipsch Forte IIs but was listening less and less. But then my teenage son and his friends started going through all my vinyl. The SET system just wasn't rocking. So I upgraded my speakers to a pair of "controversial" Wavetouch Grand Teton monitors. I was really impressed and based on conversations with the maker, Alex Yoon, and another Antero owner I traded in my GTs and upgraded to the Anteros (still with a 40 day trial). I also changed my integrated to a Hegel H200. Tube warmth with ss speed. Now I'm having more fun and more deep listening sessions than ever before. The Hegel/Anteros synergy is the best I've had yet.

Great sounds with style. Great choices in gear. Always love to see systems with various brands of gear. It takes more time to arrive with the right mix perhaps, but a mixture of gear like a rainbow is a beautifull thing.
