| Synergistic Red Fuse ... David, I have Revel Salon 2s. The Star Sound Apprentice XLs really took them to another level. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Although I have not kept religious track of the hours on the SR Blacks in my CDP and pre, I figure I’m at or past the touted 75 hour break-in milepost. At this time I am extremely pleased to say that they are a significant improvement over both st... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The SR Blacks have been in the CDP and pre since Saturday, with a total of maybe 30 hours use on them (the CDP is left on all the time while the pre is not), so semi-broken-in at this point.I'm waiting for the last bit of stridency in the upper mi... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... My 2 SR Blacks arrived today, one each for the separate pre and CDP power supplies. Initial impressions aren’t as dire as oregonpapa’s first impressions were. Definitely a blacker background and I can hear quite a bit more detail and better spacin... | |

| New format, dislike..... "Is that the guy that knows everything about audio?"AND the only guy who knows how to listen to it! | |
| New format, dislike..... Was hoping for an updated Bo1972 as well, but that didn't happen. | |
| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? I don't know why anyone would expect a balanced perspective from someone who posts nothing but single-ended infomercials! | |
| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? Before upgrading amps I used my Symphonic Line "The Enlightenment" with a Plinius SB-301, and that combo was very nice. | |
| Sound stage "How do you know when its right?"To start, get something like the XLO Reference Recordings CD, which has tracks that will walk you through where you should be hearing things. If you hear what the narrator tells you should be hearing, then you're o... | |
| Does such a speaker exist? "They do most everything right, but are just boring to listen to."I've had a pair for almost four years and they've never bored me. | |
| Help me decide Revel or Focal Distance from the back wall has some influence on bass, but if they weren't packing punch I would definitely attribute it to the Levinson amps. |
