Hi Andrew
Any further thoughts, Yes, that the millenium mat is now an obvious weakness.
When I put the A90 back onto the Raven (I had not really played it for two mnths when the A90 was on the P3), I felt that the raven was just too reserved and big easy smooth. It could not compete with the P3 on speed, drive and tempo.
Took it off and just used no mat - copper top. WOW big difference. A lot better drive in the bass and music sounds better with great tempo. copper top might be a bit too much in the upper frequencies
The millenium mat is a little laid back tempo wise and soft in the leading edge and bass a little rounded.
playing around with a few mat options at the moment, however the raven is a lot closer to the P3 with the millenium mat gone.
The A90 lets you hear it all :-)
What mat do you use?
cheers
