Hi ptman,Barry2013,
I also have the Carmels (driven by BMC M2 monoblocks) and am interested in the Stillpoint enhancement. What size adapters did you need to fit into the Carmels?
Thanks,
I have to confess that I don't know.
The Stillpoints guy kindly fitted them for me. It didn't take him very long so it must be part of Stillpoint's standard range.
I also have them under my amplication and sources. They normally recommend starting with amps and CD players, I started with the speakers and the improvement with my system was significant and immediately apparent and the remainder followed shortly afterwards again with clearly apparent benefits.
I don't know if you are familiar with the Entreq cables and power conditioners but I use them and again with very apparent and beneficial effects. The Stillpoints provide the protection against mechanical noise and the Entreq do the same for the electrically generated noise. In combination they have dramatically lowered the noise floor in my system and the sound just flows out of the speakers with great ease, purity and fidelity. Details are at Entreq.com and I understand that Stillpoints have or are to become the US distributor because of the synergy with their products.
You do not have to get the lot to begin with because the improvements start in round one and grow with subsequent additions.
On the basis of my experience they are both well worth checking out and do come back to me if I can be of further help.
