Did anyone experience Audio Prism's Ground Control
Okay, I have had the GC spades on my DeVore Super 8's for about a week now and I am getting the same results as Ozzy. A very nice improvement in sound stage width and front to back layering with a more relaxed and palpable presentation.Like Ozzy, ...

That's interesting. My Audience PDC is going throughthis same kind of break in pattern. It should be fullybroken in in about 3 weeks. At that time I will definitelygive the spades a try.

From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
Hi, I just would like to add that I have a pair of the Super 8's and they provide much better bass then the 8's. Infact I have heard them in a fairly large room with Naim gear and they had a tremendous amount of musical weight without ever soundin...
