In Reply to: Im not a system basher but with boutique 6" satellite speakerr systems all the rage... posted by jdaniel@jps.net on October 2, 2016 at 18:29:56:
Didn't you post (a few posts above), "please for the love of Darwin don't wonder aloud if there's something wrong with my system" - and yet that doesn't prevent you from supposing aloud that most of the eleven listeners on Amazon who have heaped praise on this Litton/Bergen Rite must have boutique systems with 6" speakers. And only YOUR speakers project the truth? LOL!
Well, OK. . . perhaps we'd be right to be suspicious of some of the amateur reviewers on Amazon or even of the so-called "professional" reviewers in the glossy rags (or web sites!), but here's a selection of the "professionals" falling over themselves to sing paeans about the recorded sound here:"The recorded sound is exceptional in both stereo and, especially, surround, with a real sense of how Stravinsky moves details around the orchestra." - BBC Music MagazineReally, do they ALL have 6" boutique speakers? ;-)
"state-of-the-art sonics that will thrill high-end audiophiles (at least so I assume, as I am not one of them but was mightily impressed). As with most BIS recordings, the dynamic range is very wide. . . everything snaps into focus and the result is stunning whatever your preferences: regular stereo, SACD stereo, or surround. . . the conclusion of Part One will lift you out of your seat. In Part Two, the battle between the Stegosaurus and the T-Rex (oops, that's Fantasia, isn't it?) packs a huge wallop but also sounds somehow musical, while the final sacrificial dance, lean and mean, doesn't wimp out in the post-mayhem coda." - Dave over at Classics Today
"On a scale of 1 to 10 for sound quality, I would have to give this one a 12." - Classical Music Sentinel
"For the sheer impact of performance and recording, Litton's BIS disc is hard to beat" - BBC Radio3
