    Hi,
    Hope this is the right place to seek advice. Its been many years since I really had to do any homework on new gear!
    Basically I'm feeding a pair of Ruark Talismans with upgraded Talisman 2 drivers, from Audiolab pre/power & Zu & Kimber cables.
    Basically I've been so happy with this set up I havent changed anything for about 5 years now!
    As ridiculous as this sounds the 'wood' coloured Talismans no longer fit with my decor (I know its lame!).
    So I'm trying to find out what I could replace them with that would be of similar quality, but plain old 'all black'.
    Prior to the Ruarks I had Rega Ela, which replaced Kef Q35's.
    So far I feel the Ruarks have been a clear cut above and dont want to 'downgrade' for sake of a colour change.
    Any advice appreciated. Cheers.
