Cemil's comments about his System:

AA: "Cemil, how would you describe your system's sound?"
CG: "I'm generally happy with my system: I've done no major changes for the last four years. It has open sound, natural tonality, big sound stage and musicality. It is warm enough without compromising the detail."
AA: "Do you think there is room for improvement?"
CG: "Ideally I would like to have a bit more kick on bass drum. Also some instruments tend to slightly wander in the sound stage."
AA: "Have you got plans for upgrading?"
CG: "I prefer panel speakers and will stick to them in the future. I will probably upgrade my speakers to Magnepan MG20. But at the same time (the MG20's being more demanding) I will have to upgrade the amplification. I will definitely stick to TUBES! Because I find they give much more natural timber to acoustic instruments. I may also change my CD player with a more recent generation, but I'm still uncertain and waiting to see what's going to happen to the new standards (DVD, DSD?)."
