Recently had occasion to "re-audition" a pair of SP-2000 that have been in storage. Had heard these awhile back, and just couldn't get the sound I was wanting from them, preferring other options; Ohm, Advent and Altec. Was planning to farm these out, but wanted to check their operation...--Surprise!!! Previous trials had been with ss amps (not Sansui), which they didn't seem to agree with. Harsh and boomy. Currently, auditioning with VTA ST70, and they are the package. 'Specially great rockers; dynamic, rich, and all the bottom one could want. They do need a larger room and on-axis listening position to optimize the bass response. Now eager to hear these with the VTA Mk IIIs. Cheers, K. |
