Thank's Gregm. Two questions. How would you contrast system 3a to 1 on sonic virtues (midrange, air, attack/decay, imaging)? How do you contrast the B&W N805 against the Katan?
Thanks again,
Thanks again,
Aktiv, or do I Pass?
My upgrade path has come into question and I would like to solicit the experience of the group.
Starting Point:
Source - Linn Ikemi
Amp/Control - Majik
Speakers - N805
Path 1 (original ending point)
Source, Speakers - Same
Control - Supratek or Aleph
Amp - Aleph 30, 3, or 5
Path 2 (thinking about)
Source - Same
Control - Wakonda
Amp - LK140 (2) aktiv
Speakers - Tukan or Katan aktiv
While there are cost implications, I'd like to ignore them for now. Instead, I'm looking for the sonic attributes of each system. What's important to me? Midrange - clear and simple, get the &*#-damn voices right. Second, highs - air and detail. Others - attack and decay, transients. And finally, most important - gotta feel good to listen too. Musicality!
Thanks for your thoughts!
