Hey Pizzapro,
Like Gonk and a few others .... i'm running paradigm ref. studio 60v3 as mains w/ 990/7125 combo(Outlaw i/c) and DIY speaker cables (Belden 1624P)....
Thanks to the Outlaws i'm back into 2 channel land. Love brass and drums. Blew the dust off Best of Chicago remastered ... smookin'! As you know ... well recorded brass will expose flaws in the upper mid range-tweeter really fast. then spun crystal method ... nothing harsh at all.
IMO .... the 990 is great for 2-channel: Jazz, latin, electronica, etc.
I'm w/ Doug917 and wandering if it is in the setup?
