How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
Speakers, speakers, speakers; everyone acts like sound just magically appears with a pair of expensive speakers. Well, we all know it doesn't quite work like that. When I mentioned expensive speakers, I was thinking of MBL, but not the top of the line; also I believe they require the MBL amp, not just this one but all MBL speakers, to work best. http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2010/01/x-tremely-x-pensive-speakers/ |
Normally, I mix and match, but if I was going to buy any of this weird expensive stuff, I would buy their complete system; go whole hog or none at all; "Run with the giant dogs or stay at home"; give me your best euphemism. http://www.unitedhomeproducts.com/mbl_prices.htm |
Not to be judgmental, but the way I judge a system right off the bat is how high the soundstage is. There are many steps on the way to a great soundstage. Getting the sound to disassociate from the speakers is as important and memorable as the day your testicles dropped. But you cannot get good soundstage height without implementing some drastic measures. |
