These speakers have not been Sam'ed so obviously this was switched off. Played half a dozen tracks to aclimatise myself to the speakers and the room before changing over to the 1000 pro and played the same tracks again. There was a definate improvement in timbre, more analogue if that makes sense also, mid range particularly voice was very clean and precise, very real in fact. I will be having the upgrade that's for sure.
Confused asked if I would check the temperatures so the master was A 39. D 38. P 47 and the companion was A 39. P39 P 45. That was after running all morning with fact 12's at a comfortable volume.
Cheers,
Bill.
Encouraging post Bill! I'm thinking about going from 200 to 440 Pro but there's no possibility of a demo at the moment...
Could I ask what source you were using - I know Paul's keen on Aurender
