BBE Sonic Maximizer

Hello members.

I'm new here, and this is my first post.

I'm intimidated to even ask this question, due to the anticipated response.

Basically I have a mid/low-end system.

I'm running a pair of KT-88 /12ax7 mono-blocks, with either Ohm Walsh speakers, or vintage epicure speakers.

Recently a friend of mine brought over a BBE Sonic maximiser, and asked me to try it out. I think it sounded great. I just bought one for myself. I'm really enjoying this little processor.

Has anyone else here tried one of these out? If so, was it a positive or negative experience for you?

I recently read a review, that it’s like taking the blanket off your speakers, I agree with this statement.

At first I was wondering if it just brightened things up, but I don’t think that’s the case. My soundstage seemed to be un-touched.

Is my perceived success with this item due to the fact that I'm under-powering my ohms with my low powered mono's, or am I on to something?

I'm glad we had a few members with positive input to re inforce your feeling. For most of us here we're doing the upgrading one step at a time. Meaning a few years down the road our systems may have gotten better. If you like this "step" that should be "enough"/ forget what anybody says. A part of training my ears has been owning better and better as my budjet has allowed/ over a period of time.
You got one and love it--What more can be said?
