Planet vs. Jolida 603
Help tube people! I'm looking at either a Planet (used) or Jolida 603 to hang on my Jolida 302A and out on Paradigm Phantoms w/TNT DIY speaker cables. I understand the 603 uses a Sony drive, which may or may not be a good thing. What I want from either player is a warm, full sound--read not bright with good bass. The used Planet price range is similar to the 603 new. Am I comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges here? My music taste is 50/50 blues-rock. And I prefer volume set to roof raising when ever possible! (when home alone) Thanks for your input in advance, Sober1
