Has anyone tried the Speaker Match Plus ?

I just received the Speaker Match and the Speaker Match plus for Demo.

After just a few minutes, the Speaker Match Plus seems to be quite impressive. The music is quite a bit louder at the same preamp position and the images seem to be more clearly defined. But, this is after only a few minutes of playing time. I'll continue to review them more this weekend.

I'm also going to experiment with the regular Speaker Match with my Home theater speakers.

So, just wondering if anyone else has tried these units?

I've tried the Speaker Match and it did nothing more to my system than the old Dakioms I use. It was so close as to be a draw. And I've been taking the Dakioms in and out to see if I really need them anymore since I've changed my cabling back to Mapleshades. I just may keep them out.

All the best,

Nonoise,Thanks for the reply , the regular Speaker Match to me is not so much as an improvement as it is a change.

But, the Speaker Match Plus seemed to be a BIG change, at least during the few moments I listened with them.

If I remember correctly from what I was told, it helps to block out RFI and the like. I was also told that it works about half the time depending on your speaker. It seems if your speakers run a Zobel type crossover, it won't have much affect at all, if any.

Someone who knows more needs to chime in because as usual, I may be all wet on the matter.

All the best,

This is from the Cable Company site.

"SteinMusic Speaker Matches reduce RF/EMI distortion."

"The Plus Version of Speaker Match uses additional techniques based on quantum physics. Also the housing is made out of American walnut which results in a better resonance control for better sound."
