You're welcome on the Tweed. I was tweaking yesterday and finding myself a little frustrated. Then I picked the Tweed amp and suddenly all the high end that was bugging me about the models I'd been picking was gone and I found myself immediately making music. I love the Swart, too. My CLR is sitting next me, but I haven't gotten to try it yet (work). What you say about the RCF vs CLR seems to be reflected in everybody's comment who owns both. One is very good, the other awesome. I've loved my RCFs and compared to everything else I've tried, they were clearly the best. The lack of dispersion and the slight "plasticity" to the sound, particularly at lower volumes are my only quibbles, and from what I've heard, the CLR will take care of both concerns.
Tomorrow I'll get to crank it up. Very psyched.
Don't make other plans tomorrow - you'll want to play the rest of the day once you fire up the CLR.
I've had 3 CLRs with me since early april, and continue to be blown away by how great they are each time I use them. Enjoy
