Silver Member Username: DanmanQUEBEC CANADA Post Number: 655 Registered: Apr-04 | 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. |

Silver Member Username: DanmanQUEBEC CANADA Post Number: 657 Registered: Apr-04 | 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. |

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 |

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. |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 4846 Registered: Dec-04 | 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. |
