My Caladan Impressons
Hey guys, got my Caladan's recently.  They replaced some b&w's 804's from 2004.  The b&w's cost 4k back then.  The Caladan's still need some break-in but they are better than the b&w's.  Now do they kick the sh!! out of the b&w's..... 
full range or mini's and a sub
yeah I'm not a huge tweaker.  Really in my dreams I add some subs maybe a swarm and a Bach and call it a day.

Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?
Great topic!  I was just thinking of this subject and wanted to start a thread about it, but this works.  Lately I almost always end my night listening to Radiohead.  Anybody else love this band?  If so what who else compares?

Well the Rose made a difference. not sure how big quite yet but i do like the option of video that it gives me if wanted.  I would be pretty cool to add some videos of live performances so I will keep it.  So I guess we are really looking at DAC's...

Earthbound I'm not sure.  I love vinyl, do tube DAC's sound more liquid?  Maybe with that bad ass amp a little tube magic would be nice?

Alright guys, first of all, thank you everyone on your great advice.  I really appreciate it!  Jbuhl made a really good point.  I really don't know how good the DAC is in the Krell.  It might be 5k to get better. So I'm gonna borrow a rose stream...

Oh forgot to say I use almost exclusively Tidal, BUT would be willing to switch to Qobuz or Roon if everyone thinks it makes a difference
