Thank you very much,
Unfortunately, I don't have a Room that allows an optimal expression space for the GRANDE.

The proportions of the CLASSIC and their capabilities, make it possible to give a huge and concentrated stage, dynamics, a natural tone, an accurate, dynamic and powerful lower range in my room.
so I believe that even if I were in a bigger space, my natural choice would still be the CLASSIC.

Did you demo other speakers before choosing the Kaisers
like Zellaton , Magico etc?
Do you consider them end game or are you thinking about changing ?
Thanks.

Hi.
Yes, absolutely.

The two companies you mentioned are Respectable and excellent.

I heard and audition the
Zilatton ploral
Zilatton stage

Both are great but I wasn't excited by either of them to the point that I would want them in my house.

Regarding to Magico.
Great company but again I was less excited.

At the end of the day a lot is a matter of taste and preferences.

Update

ASC Tube Trap Iso Thermal each on every corner (behind The Sound Curtains).
-------
IsoTek Super TITAN 32amper for amp/pre-amp (2's hand)

IsoTek v5 Elektra for sources (NEW)

The Super Titan brought from a good friend of mine, who is currently going through many changes in his life and therefore brought it to me, And for that I thank him very much.

The Super Titan was originally mine and was unfortunately sold due to lack of space and the need for additional sockets,
at the time it was compatible with the previous setup (Wilson + KARAN + MSB) and was also a desire to stay with a separated HT setup which I gave up Almost entirely (which required a considerable amount of space on the previous HiFi racks, It is very common for audiophiles to get rid of the HT components that take up a lot of space and focus IN 2ch).

UPDATE

The very fine and mighty Super TITAN returned to its owner, even though I could have purchased it and kept it
with deep thought and understanding that it is not easy to get into the SuperTitan shoes and even pass it in terms of dynamics mainly,
at some point I felt that I was "scattered" with the amount and location of the equipment, and limitation in the length of the Power Cables , the limitation of the SuperTitan's 4 sockets also made it a little difficult for me and I had to add another Power Distributor,
I decided to make some changes
after my countless :) requests, I received from our Shunyata's local distributor, (who is also a very good friend), His private Shunyata Everest 8000 that he had On display And what feeds his entire setup, and in addition two 20amper power cables,
the Shunyata Sigma XC And after that the Omega XC,
after a few hours of testing, I decided to stay with the Shunyata Everest and after I checked, it was decided to move on to the Omega XC.

It was decided that I would stay with the Shunyata's set, and we made an order for a new set that will arrive soon.

The location has not been finalized yet, there are going to be more changes and upgrades.
