No Question about it, rather a statement
Hi,
Months back i was new to audiogon and posted a question about the newly released Kinki EX1. As it turns out (interest aside in the Kinky) I went a different route early on by looking at Bell Canto and finally decided on slightly used PS M700's. I changed out my ML15's for Elac Debut 6.2 simply because i heard a great deal of good reviews. Needless to say the elac's debut 6.2's sounded exceptionally well, especially since they dropped the price to 250.00. However, they were only meant to be temporary. An honorable mention goes to Watkins 4's or something to that effect, had the owner answered the phone in Tennessee i would most likely had purchased a pair had they still been with an introductory price which was about $2,000. Drum roll please, INSTEAD, i went with Burchart S400 all the way from Denmark.. I ordered in September and finally got them in early December. But they were worth the wait! This was a blind date, and, i salute audiophiles everywhere that steered me in that direction. This included 2 utube presenters that had reviewed them and of course gave them a high rating. They are 4 ohm speakers and now you know why i went with M700's, i left nothing left to chance (inexperience aside) and of course who knows what the future holds. I could easily use the M700's for other hard to drive speakers later on. I assure you these speakers are EXCEPTIONAL in every way.. They are not even broken in and i am completely and totally satisfied. These are (another drum roll) being used in a desktop configuration.. Great stereo imaging, detail and soundstage.. The music is largely just behind my Imac monitor, or to the left or right. The voice though is right there in the middle and at times the speakers totally disappear altogether. I brought a Gladiator shop (Home Depot) table measuring 88" just before Thanksgiving and i have the whole setup on this table which is just right. did i mention the bass, "OUTSTANDING." Its a lot like goldilocks if your wondering... I believe i stole them for about $1,400, there was of course a 200 discount for waiting on delivery. It seems he cannot keep them in stock so at this writing he may be out of the black already. He has walnut coming in in February i believe. Owner and operator is Mads Burchart, he returns emails and is a square shooter in my humble opinion. In essence you (me) cut out the middle man and get an outstanding speaker for half of what it would cost if free enterprise were to step in.. I almost want to put out a "double dog dare" out there because i know the speakers will back me up, all i know is mine are not for sale
Equipment: iMac streaming tidal, PS M700's, Burchart S400's and Prism Sound Callia DAC...
I have arrived... (oh but wait, another piece is about to arrive from Greece, anyone guess?)
PS, i am grateful to the community for suggestions.
