Thanks ML!  Reviews are a bit thin on the ground -- I found three or four on-line -- but do seem to be very enthusiastic.  Not sure how much can be judged from that but it did encourage me to put the Chiaras onto my short list.

Luckily the dealer in the UK (I think there is only one, but may be wrong) is not too far away from me.  If you do get a chance to hear the Chiaras or any of the Kaiser floor-standers then I'd recommend doing so.

By the way, having owned Sonus fabers for longer than I can remember, including a pair of Minimas before the Guarneris, it's nice to retain a small connection with Italy, even if it's only in the name!

I will try to listen to any Kaiser speaker as soon as I get the chance! I'm quite intrigued, I must say.

Coming from a strong SF background like yours, keeping your next speaker's name within Italian reach is the least you could do! 

Please, keep us posted with your impressions as your Chiaras start singing!
