I once owned a Modulus 2B, that was suprisingly good sounding for he price. It's weakness would be lack of authority in the lower octaves. The main reason that I got rid of it was that the dual volume controls sucked! They were cheap "modpots" and I hated them. Getting balance correct was difficult and they were noisey when used. For that reason alone I would steer youir firend away from that model. In the Modulus # rendetion that problem was resolved with high quality stepped pots.
Audible Illusions Modulus 2 vs. Modulus 3
I'm helping a friend put together a low (medium) budget system. So far we've got Vandy 3's and a McCormack Deluxe DNA-1. I'm wondering what the sonic difference is between the Modulus 2 and the Modulus 3. I'm also thinking of an EAR 834L and a Quicksilver Linestage. Thanks for any opinions! Peter
