Great to know, thanks! I've done some light modding in the past with a pair of Chorus's - Bob Crites tweeters and crossovers. I've got the 225's right now and I prefer them to the HSU's that I've had for the last five years; they will make a good candidate for modding if it is an option.
Equipment Shootout with Wharfedale Evo 4.1, 4.2, Monitor Audio, and HSU plus amps
I'll be setting up a test next week with the new Wharfedale Evo stand-mounts 4.1's, 4.2's plus a few other speakers (and amp combinations)
Test:
CXA60
Marantz 2245
Kenwood 7150
APT Holman Preamp+SI45
Hsu HB-1
MA Bronze 2
Wharfedale 225, 4.1, 4.2
Sources will be my TT-15 and a Chromecast Audio (I will use 3.5 for most of the amps but will use the CXA60 internal DAC for that amp).
I don't really expect this to be a fair fight, but it's a mix of what I have on hand and the direction I am moving. I would love to hear any input on other components to add, or general ideas on running the comparison, as this will be my first attempt.
The room size and shape is less than ideal, but it isn't bad. I would preferably be using floor-standing speakers for a space this large, but with a wife and small kids, bookshelfs are my only real option. If someone can tell me how to post pictures, I can show my space.
