To say I was disappointed when i first heard it was an understatement. I couldn't believe that so many reviewers could be so wrong about it that I went ahead and got a second one. It's a complete night and day difference. And ever since I've been super happy with them. I have the original classic, silver and gold models. There is a difference between the classic/silver and gold. But I found that it is only apparent if you listen to them side by side. For everyday listening my classic and silver models are amazing speakers and we listen to those the most.
Hope this helps.
I really appreciate your comments. You have an amazing collection of them! They seem like they are similar to how people get one tattoo and then get addicted and get many more. I could buy 3 silver for the price of 2 gold, so I am still somewhat undecided. My wife thinks it would be crazy to downgrade to a lesser speaker after hearing this one. We've never listened to silvers, so hard to say without testing. I am sure it is just like you say, that the difference is probably noticeable when side by side or for someone who is a total audiophile. I appreciate the best quality sound possible, but I can't say for sure I would notice the difference in the same way. One review says it is an incredible difference, others say only at very high volumes. I keep going back and forth. I am terrible when it comes to having choices, sometimes less variety is easier and you worry less about making the right purchase.
