Looks great! That Einstein and the KR are two pieces of equipment i've been itching to try in my system. Pity they are so expensive!

Oh, and welcome to WBF!

Welcome!

Interesting pairing of gear

Haven't run across those speakers. Perhaps you can fill us in a little more?

Thank you!
The Einstein and the KR are truly (IMHO) the best gear i've owned to date.
Did you know that Volker Bohlmeier the Einstein maker himself uses the same speakers as you own to demonstrate his gear? That says a lot (and BTW: great system you have!)

Welcome!

Thank you Myles

The Zinfandel landed in my system almost two years ago as i searched for a high efficient speaker to run S.E.T amps on.
I've always loved the sound of S.E.T amps but couldn't find the best pair of speakers that will fit my demands and budget, until i heard the Zinfandel.
With 97DB, 'full range' mid driver and a 12" bass driver that speaker plays music like i've never heard before.

+1 on both counts. Absolutely beautiful. Great photos.

I just had a closer look at the pictures. Those panels on the walls ... are they room treatment?

Yes I know about Einstein and Acapella. I'm not sure how well that would have worked, given that 110W triode amps struggled to power my speaker, let alone the 60W OTL that Einstein makes. No Einstein dealer where I live, so unfortunately I can not try.

BTW it really does look like a lovely house. If you tidied up the cabling a tiny bit it would look even better

I believe those panels are the GIK room treatment panels (I have several myself) that he mentioned even before listing his gear.

Yes they are, GIK

In the last CES (The Show) in Vegas they sounded great together, you should come next time

You are correct, the picture of my audio system is an old one and now I have all the cables on Cable Elevators
