this week to audition KEF LS50, Harbeth PS3, Proac Tablette, Dali Zensors, Monitor Audio, JBL lsr305 and an mbl speaker! I have one week available for this. There is a YSL amp (never heard of it) to drive the first 3 and Audio Analogue and a Burmester too. I hope to come back home in one piece. I have great expectations about the KEF.
Cheers

Silver 1 and 2. The latter has 8 inch driver which I am keen to listen to. I have heard the BX and the RX series a lot. Not that impressed.

The MA woofer cones are fine. I actually like them. And I'm not a big fan of designer material cones. The RX series has good drivers, BUT!! who ever designed and tested (and obviously didn't listened to) that crossover should be fired!!!!!The original crossover to the tweeter used a third order. The tweeter was so vailed and muted that is basically wasn't even there - sonically! I did audition it and even at the time felt it was better than the tower version and the PSB's I was planning on buying.
What I did, and I really dont' recommend this to anyone other than myself, was go in and jump out the two caps in the tweeter circuit. Now I'm very happy with the speaker. The woofer sounds great and it can get down to 40Hz! Peppy and dynamic.
However my favorite speaker is the Zaph Audio SR-71. Honestly - you can't get much better in that class of speaker!!!!

I'd be interested to know ho those little JBLs fare in that company given that they only cost about £230 the pair including amps.
Bill-
where are you driving from and to (location)?
From Cochin to Bangalore or to use the new changed names, from Kochi to Bengaluru.
I am taking a route thru the Tropical forest, expecting to see some wild life en route, elephants, sambar deer, leopards and if lucky a tiger. My bro in law is big on off road travel but I would keep him on the road on his new acquisition called Koleos, an SUV by Renault.

My RX-2 Monitor Audio's I found to have the tweeter muffled. I don't recommend this, but I redid the crossovers third order network to the tweeter. I redid it and now it sounds much better - to me anyway.

Sounds like a great road trip. Have fun and let us know the results.
I sure will.
Cheers
