congrats! I too picked up a pair of 88's back in November and am loving them. I had Dean at Aletheia do my crossovers and am very happy with their sound! Have fun and enjoy. Let me know what you hear on the diaphragms, i'd be interested in that info. I've heard mixed opinions on the subject and if its necessary. I've used lemon oil and mineral oil with no color change.
I'm very happy with my SED Winged C's, EL 34's
I bought them from upscale audio. I was previously running electroharmonix which were good but I do hear an improvement with the SED's. Check out upscales website they offer reviews of all the tubes they sell as well as customer reviews.
I just recently upgraded the crossovers so it seems that a tweeter upgrade might be be the next Mod to make.
Im looking into replacing/upgrading the tweeters in my CWII's.
It'd be great to hear from those of you that have replaced your stock tweeters or stock diaphragms. It appears that there are a few different options in terms of parts and companies to choose from, any recommends and advice is welcomed.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Cheers
No sorry about that I thought I had copied the url to the review/product I was throwing up to discuss, ponder and question. I edited the the original post. Sorry for the confusion.
Thought I'd throw this out there to see what the general consensus would be on this one.

Is it everything they say? Does the Emperor have new clothes?
Check out the reviews and videos on Synergistic Research's website.
Is it really this simple to achieve audio nirvana?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts
I started just a bit over a year ago. I bought a pair of RF 82's used and a new Yamaha AVR can't remember which one but I think it was a RV-X 675. After a couple of weeks I upgraded the AVR to RX-A730. After a few more weeks I upgraded to Emotiva UMC-1 with separate adcom amps. After about 10 months I bought a pair of CW II's. I strongly considered RF 7's. After 2 months with the CW's I upgraded the amp to a SET 12w class A amp that runs EL 34's and I had the crossovers re done by Aletheia (aka Dean G). I am pretty damn happy with my current set up. It was interesting getting here.
There is one on Ebay for $238 two days left on the sale, are you going for this ? its a Gen1 but can be upgraded to a Gen two, let me know so I don't bid against ya.
I say go for it I might go new with the uber upgrade. Its a sweet unit
