Just listening to Webern/Boulez/Sony
via UX250 SET amp, designed built by our local tech here in New Orleans
wow factor high with pure colblat out trans.
I decided to ck bass response on the DLVX8 along with a 1970's Philips AD163 tweeter.
Some light jazz Sophie Milman,,
Jazz fans take note.
You owe it to yourself to hear a higher end FR speaker + SET amplifier.
I am not missing any bass response.
Its all there.
IN order to lighten the ohm load on the Defy, I'm most likely going to retire the W18's, and just depend on the dual FR for bass respose.
xover style speakers are not going to deliver the smooth musical (= magical) image that only a higher end FR can deliver.
Not sure how or why we all got so carried away with the xover style speakers.
Anyone know?
Propaganda? Advertisments?
Just follow the crowds?
Anyone have the answer, please share.
Perhaps because the higher end FR have not been out very long,
Only in the past 10 yrs have these drivers come into high fidelity.
WEll i am here to tell you you really have no idea what you are missing.
Nuances galore
