After a few weeks of living with different FW's, I can quietly conclude that for some weird reason nr. 7 actually does sound more engaging, full, natural and warm to me - in my room and via my speakers.
Overall there is less a sense of analytical detail and separation compared to, say, FW10, but playback (of vinyl, since that is what I play 95% of the time) gains in ease, coherence, body and musicality. Yup, perhaps it's more "analog", for want of a better word?
Time and again, I found myself drawn into the music more when listening through FW7.
(heck, even while I'm typing this, I can't help but bob along to Lightnin' Hopkins "Goin' Away" lp playing in the background. Take it, Lightnin'!!)
Strange. What parameters do Devialet change to alter the sound?
I'm gonna stop worrying about that and continue to enjoy the music.
(Anybody try FW6? ;)
