...$4K on electronics (V.P.I. Scout/Grado Platinum >>> Rotel pre >>> 380 watt Rotel) only to have 2 (!) pair of 901s waiting downstream.I'm not making fun of them, maybe it's possible for them to sound better, but it sounds BAD. "Muddy" would be the first adjective that comes to mind. Soundstaging isn't important to me, but the speakers draw complete attention to themselves. Zero ability to put up a phantom mage. Maybe something is wired incorrectly, dunno.
I have a feeling there are sentimental reasons for him to employ these, but it seems like such a waste...
