I used to remember a reviewer from the late Fi and TAS magazine who uses a CAT preamp w/ Jadis 500 driving the Avalon's .Then when he wrote for Fi magazine he replaced the Jadis w/ the CAT JL .Is this guy Dr. Michael Gindi. I used to enjoy reading his reviews. Does he still write/review audio for any publication?
Yes that was Michael. He wrote for me after Fi. Actually Avalons were early on. Actually Michael settled for the MBL 101As and had the best setup of this speaker, past or present, that I've heard. I preferred the CAT amps (these were the first gen so that dates them) to the Jadis in his system. Last I heard, Michael has kinda dropped out of audio
