I could never have afforded these had I not run into a once in a lifetime fire sale price on these.speakers.
In other news, you had told me that the Odeons would make every change apparent. Over time, I've switched most of the wiring over to Synergistic Research stuff. I picked up some very good deals on biwire speaker cables and interconnects, all with active shield. There are also two sets of Chinchilla MKII. I then recently pickedup a SR power cable with active shield, and when I installed it on the preamp, it was like a layer of grunge was stripped away that I didn't even know was there. I had tried aftermarket cords on preamps before without ever hearing much of a change. Not this time... I never would have believed it.

Yes, they are kind of a microscope to the sound...can be great or...

I am using NBS power cables as they work very well in allowing max transparency in the system.

For interconnects though I use Boenicke audio RCAs that are made from wire by LessLoss (from Lithuania). This is really great stuff that really allows the soundstage to develop naturally.

AFAIK, you and I are the only two Odeon La Boheme owners active on the internet. I have a few friends that are Odeon owners (one guy just had his model 38.2s upgraded with the parts from their new top of the line Carnegie!) but they all own the 3-way models.

I also used to own a pair of bookshelf Orfeos and a pair of Rigolettos. BTW, the new Rigoletto is really superb...I heard it on a trip to the Odeon factory (in Germany) back in March. Awesome stuff there as the designer (Axel Gersdorf) really knows his stuff.

I have a second system that is built around a Supravox full-range driver with a horn/compression driver sitting on top. It is full active with two DACs and two amps...pretty neat play toy.

Anyway, glad to hear you still lover your speakers. I honestly haven't heard anything short of megamoney that could convince me to switch.
