You're welcome Jun!

updates:

LSi9s + HK3470 + CD collection are in AVShop (MLY Enterprises) and experiments are ongoing for bi-amping.

I may have to defer getting a replacement amp to the HK3470, and instead recycle it as LF driver amp, and get another amp for the HF drivers.

So far last saturday, the Rotel RA06SE (Preamp + Power for HF) + HK3470 (Power for LF) combo seems promising.

Updates:

Got myself a Rotel RA06SE Integrated Amp. I love the brightness and better bass control.

Will be back in AVShop to continue the bi-amp experiment with my old HK3470 as the woofer amp, RA06SE as the tweeter amp.

Thank you Marc, James, Rey!

Congrats Mikee! Big time ka talaga!

Use bright sounding cables for the tweets (usually silver cables) and cables with good bass for the woofer (Ecosse comes to mind).

Enjoy!

Thanks Paul!

yep, actually contemplating on the van den hull clear water silver cable for the HF, and retaining the tsunami competition AWG cables for now. Ecosse comes to mind too for the LF, kaso wala pa daw stock sa spectra

pictures to follow na lang since magulo ang mga bata dito sa batangas, probably will move my stuff from avshop after the holidays na lang para iwas pusoy LOL

No celebration yet, Rotel RB-1582 and the Onkyo CS-5VL SACD Player is still on backorder.

Well actually after this 2 channel project, mas madugo ang kasunod - a proper 7.1 HT and Plasma display setup.

sir mike, question lang po, how do you find the LF of 9's sir? bitin po ba with your current set up?

Well the LSi9's LF performance is so-so with the current setup (RA-06SE+HK3470)

Actually busog ang woofer ng LSi9s with the HK3470, but when you compare it with the performance of the Rotel RB1582 (as woofer amp), night and day ang difference.

Bass is tight, clean and articulate even when loud sa RB1582, As for the HK3470, malakas and mataba ang bass, but it sounds 'muddy' - uncontrolled.

The Klipsch sub is just used when playing really loud, but for low to moderate music and during critical listening, the sub is off.

I started 'replacing' the interconnects with Cal's DIY IC's, got rewarded with better imaging and soundstaging with the LSi9s.

Brightness also improved A LOT

Thanks Cal!

Update:

After 2 years, my audiophile prayers have been answered!

I am reunited with my first love - The AE Aegis Evo 1 (in a different color though, but that's fine)

I know I should have not let go of that black AE Evo 1 one summer in 2010, then again foolish me.

Anyway moving forward, 2012 is beginning to be a very lucky year.

It's currently connected to the Rotel RA-06SE, LSi9 is temporarily reconfigured to single amp connections and hooked to the HK3470.
