> but hopefully one contains a well recorded, hear the strings being plucked acoustic stand up bass<Two, actually. One is a 45 RPM LP of Scott LaFaro's bass with the Bill Evans Trio. The 45 RPM version is sonically the best when matched with the standard LP or various versions of the CD or SACD... the disc is "Saturday Night at the Village Vanguard". The other is Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" which isn't so well recorded (or mastered) but I'm familiar with every nuance of that disc so differences are easy to pick out. The 3rd is Beethoven's Fifth - gotta have some orchestral music in there. One LP, two CD's.
>I forgot to ask what version does he have. Is it an original or the ++?<
He's got the full monty ++ with the Thor subs. He had his own multichannel amp (a Theta, I think). I must be in for a treat as you say because I've known him for many years and I've never seen him this excited about anything. Thankfully for the bias thingy, he and I only see eye to eye (ear to ear) about half the time. It was he, you see, that showed me what the Bedini Ultra Clarifier could do. As far as I could tell, it spun CD's. It was sorta cool to be able to see the CD spinning but it wasn't $140 worth of cool. But he waxed eloquent about the sound while I sat there trying desperately to hear the difference that never appeared. So I'm not at all concerned that his excitement might tamper with my own experience. I have no doubt they're great speakers but I'm curious if they maintain the positives of the Maggies while improving on the idiosyncracies I've learned to live with. I'll let you know how it turns out.
