Add Your Review for the Monitor Series IV |
Awsome, more noticable improvement than upgrading tubes.
I am running it from a Fi Y preamp to a Fi X amp
(w/ Magnaquest transformers)on to Lowther PM2As.
More music, rythm, tone, music, beat and stage imaging,
music, clarity and detail. The resolution of everything is just better
The bass is breathtaking, corpulent yet smooth, graceful and controlled, all the way from the lower midrange.
No harshness on the high frequencies, they extend far smoothly.
With the Lowthers these are great, yields more bass,
prevents cd harshness from getting to the divers, and actually improves the clarity and speed, if you can believe that.
A must, blows away the Kimber KCAGs I was using before.
Did not even need to switch back and forth, its the kind of improvement that you recognize immediately
I finally get to hear the potential of the system. I dont know if its actual synergy or the righteous cable design.
Expensive but well worth it.
Thanks to e-audionet for the recommendation, audition and true audiophile service all around.
