I've recently upgraded my whole system and am very pleased with the results. In fact, I think it sounds so good, I actually wonder what more I could expect in terms of sound improvements. I have used high grade cables, connectors, and wire. I have bi-wired my mains, and that made quite a difference in itself. I've set up my receiver with a sound level meter etc., etc.., and not to boast, but I think it sounds terrific. The highs are crisp and vivid, the mids are amazingly developed, and am hearing things I never heard before on old CD's. And the bass is tight and clean, without being overpowering. The soundstage is remarkably defined, and since they're all Alphas, of course the transitions are seamless. I can crank at high levels for hours and there is no hiss, no crack, no nothing, just clean, powerful music. I am constantly amazed at the capabilities of this system. I realize I could spend considerably more on a system, but can anyone tell me what more I would really be getting? What improvements are possible from here? Etc...

Thanks for any input.
