Well...LOL. The Audio Innovations belongs to my son, and of course WHO PAID FOR THE BORDER PATROL UPGRADE ?....anyway. The AI will take a few weeks to run in but its been back with us for 2 weeks now. Using with the Mission 752, very nice indeed. I was surprised with the Snell's, stands unfilled horrible treble and hard mid range. Stands filled, there is an improvement, but hardness in the treble/midrange, this could be due to the Russian valves running in, and the caps. So to day I went speaker searching, decided on the KefQ700 ( If I cast my mind back to the early nineties, the 105 went nice with AI amps) I decided there and then...to hell with it, I got some of MY NHS pension through, and I am tired of always having to get everything secondhand, barter, swop, credit card etc. I just want a complete matching system. From what I have heard, the Audiolab poweramps are quite good, and musical, and of course I can use my CDQ as the preamp, my NVA phono will route through the AUX. I do like the Audio Innovations S500, and always did like AI amps.
