Am I crazy to upgrade?
Hello all, I’m currently on the vetge of making a multi thousand dollar "upgrade" and thought it would be prudent to get some insight/ feedback from those that know before pulling any triggers.
I currently have a 7.2 system with B&W 804s, 805s, SC1s, Htm1 & 2 Rel Storm iiis.
I have 3 Emotiva gen 2 XPA1s, an XPR5 for the rears, XMC--2, and a Blusound Node 2.
I have always wanted the Tekton Ulfberhts with two 410 subs and wide Double Impact center. I have the opportunity to pick them up at a very reasonable price as well as the Impact References for rears. So, when you upgrade your speakers you have to upgrade everything else. :) So I was thing Parasound JC1 monos and a JC3? Maybe a ysed Anthem AVM 70 or 90? Or a NAD M12 or M17? Ir Wyred 4 sound SX1000R monoblocks? Keep the Emotiva? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
...I'd surmise that @erik_squires would at minimum demand a commercial aircraft be involved (1st Class, of course) with anything to do with 'flying' of any sort. I'd prefer a full body harness with major abrasion resistance and hd roller skates 'cuz 'wing seating' isn't just cheap..... On the bottom end of the scale is the 13 loop rope neck harnesses that are coming back into style for us SOTA renegades... with my first rsvp being 'feats don't fail me now....." ;) |
Thanks for the feedback. The XPA-1 Monoblock amps I have powering my front 3 (BhW 804s & HTM1) are the Gen 2 versions that can do pure Class A or AB. I picked up a pair of Tekton Impact Reference locally that I intend to use for the rears and boy do they sound good. I did a ind a/b vs the 804s and I preferred the Tektons! I can't imagine what the Ulfs will sound like! I can't wait to get them in my room! |
