Any thoughts on the Avid Acutus?

Thanks for your thoughts. You bring up some interesting and valid points. One reason for changing the whole rig is that my dealer is selling the Acutus as a demo package deal (it's already setup and ready to go and it's a Triplanar VII not VI)) and will give me a nice trade-in value for for my current rig. Regarding the difference in sound the Acutus has much better bass but also an incredibly low noise floor that allows the music to emanate from a blacker space. It also seems to stage better with greater depth and is more dynamic. The Oracle does have a sweeter midrange and is more forgiving. It may well be a flavor change but if the deal is right I'll probably do it.

Raul, very good advice. I ran a Lyra Parnassus/Graham 1.5 on a VPI TNT for some time and while I loved the sound it ultimately sounded slightly cool and lean (but what detail!). New space considerations brought me back to the Oracle and you can see I went for a decidedly warmer sound with the KRSP/Triplanar. I think I'm trying to split the difference between the KRSP and a Lyra Titan with the Benz Micro LP Ebony. To my ears it's faster, more detailed and extended than the former but warmer and less analytical than the latter. But I will definitely try the KRSP on the Acutus.
