The B329 is what the A2900 should have been. The 2900 was way too in your face. Made my brain hurt lol. It was like every note was competing with each other. Great bass and details, but extremely over done. I suppose it would be a great fit if everything else in your entire chain was dark and boring lol. The B329 is more relaxed and Tele like, but a little meatier in the low end, more liquid than air like the Teles have. They both capture that majestic realism I look for. I put the 801s and B329 as my two favorites so far. If I had a gun to my head to chose only one it would be the Tele by a hair. Lol.
My triple micas were a little smoother and manageable than the 2 micas (which came in original boxes rolled in the tube 'toilet paper' wraps). The 3 micas were already burned in. The 2 micas had never seen the light of day. I sent them to Sammy for a preview too and he ultimately didn't dig them. He has a pair of GEC b329's though now, which he does seem to like. It's tough being an audiophile.
