To make room for the Christmas tree meant also taking down the CLSIIz setup for a little while. This was also a good time to send in the CLS power supply boxes to ML to have them checked out so off they went.
Not wanting to be without music through the Christmas season I found a little room around the tree to setup a simple but nicely sounding system using Aeon i's, an 845 based tube amp and a Wadia CD player as the source. Of course the tree provides a lot of diffusion between the speakers. It sounds great with very good imaging but when you sit in the sweet spot, it sounds like the vocals are coming right out of the Christmas tree!
Happy Holidays!!!
