Thanks. My local Devialet dealer will soon have the GT1 on demo. I really look forward to a listening session. I had originally planned to buy a pair of Kef LS50, but now I am not so sure. Are you using stands with your GT1s?
Ogs, I had also planned to buy the LS50s and understand they are really nice speakers (and also available on the SAM registry) that mate well with the Devialet. Anyway, I decided to buy the Atohm GT1s based on reviews (first time I have purchased without listening) and am glad I did. And, yes, I am using some metal stands made in the U.K. Hope your listening session goes well!
