Yesterday I went to my dealer as I am looking to upgrade a few areas of my system and walked out with a 1 year old pair ( just before they were replaced)of JMLab Electra 926's for 2900$ Canadian all included!!!!
They were owned by a guy that used them 3 times and paid 5900$ (Tax incl) Can. I can't tell you that these are by far the best speakers I have heard for a long time! Incredible bargain. Now I can tailor my purchases around the speakers. All I have to do now is sell my other ones. |

At the present time, I am still using my 2 C272's and they are doing a great job but I plan on going to use YBA in the near future. |

How are you going to sell the Wharf's Dan?
Fabulous deal on the Electra's. Congrats.
That's the way I bought my kit. Keep following rich audioheads around and see what shakes out! |

Way to go, Nuck! Sounds like a good deal. Did you listen to them first, using amp(s) similar to those in your collection? |

I am looking at the YBA Passion Integrated 300 and their CD Player as well but it is a little more than I want to spend at the present time. Actually, the Nads are doing a pretty good job but definately not up to what these speakers can really do! I am hearing things I never heard before in my CD's and records! I will probably go with one at a time and first of all start with the CD player as that would be the next weakest link in my opinion.
I have always loved JMLab speakers and am happy that Santa came early!
Nuck, as for selling the 9.6's...........well I have not really thought about it yet. They are in brand new condition without even a speck of dust on them! They were wonderful but no where near what I have now! Speakers make the biggest difference in a sound system that is for sure! I may sell them through my dealer and let him have 10% or just be lucky enough that someone will want them. I will probably buy the new Cambridge Audio 640r 7.1 with the difference as I am slowly getting into the home theatre thing as well. |

Dan,
Congrats. I go away for awhile and everyone upgrades BUT ME. Enjoy the sound and let us know when you upgrade the CD player, which is a more much important piece than many people understand, in the quality of what comes out. Good luck, Dave |

You're not the only one Dave. Every time I've got the cash saved, my wife finds a 'more important' way to spend it. First was a new bedroom set. Then new couches. Then a new tv. Then a new TV stand. Then a new DVD player.
Ok, maybe they were more important. The furniture was old and a lot of it was hand me down stuff. The old tv was making a high pitched squealing noise to go along with it's diminishing picture quality. The old stand wasn't big enough. The DVD player wasn't up to par with the tv.
I keep telling myself that one of these days I'll get the Naim system. I guess everyday is a day closer. |

I just can't get past the disaccoitation Naim has with high power amps.
I have to think Naim would be a good match with Bryston amps, as I find the Brystons to be very honest, do what anps should, multiply power.Singularly. |
