Hey buddy, great system!
I once listened to a Hales Revelation3 and a Transcandent 8 which i still have in memory. It was the first speaker that impressed me. I heard a Wilson Watt Puppy and some big Meridians that day, but the Transcandent 8 and R3's got stuck in my mind. One of the same experiences i had with all Apogees i heard till now.
Great system!
