Yesterday we ventured out to NJ to have a listen. Greg and his Wife Jennete were wobderfull hosts. Thanks for the food, just wonderfull.
We broght some toys for Greg to experiment with. The dynamics of these speakers are off the charts. Explosive would be a good word. The older model Bryston 4B was great at punch dynamics and slam. However a bit hard and dry overall.
First we tried a Triode Wire Labs 7+ PC with the Bryston . Instantly we noticed a more natural presentation. VG good combo.
After awhile we put the Arion hybrids in and the game changed. Gone was the over detailed top with a natural character. Less strained and a much quieter background.
The icing on the cake was the insertion of the Uberbuss feeding everything in the system.
The speaker is well just amazing for what it does and at the price KABOOM for the buck. Clarity, dynamics with a midrange that brings one into the music. The bass goes real low and was seemless with the panels. Maybe a bass trap or two would have been optimal but that is nitpicking.
A fine speaker at a great price. The Rave at Toprounds will be loads of fun with the Titans, Merril and Arion amps and Wes's preamp oh my !! Looking forward to that day.
