I thought the cost was very reasonable. I had the Mk II for about three weeks, before deciding to upgrade. After living with the Mk III for several months, it has made me convert my 5 channel HT room to a primarily music room with occasional 2 channel HT. To be honest, I initially got the FS because I've always wanted to hear it and resigned to the fact that I may have to sell since I was in the process of moving to a smaller space. Now I can't bear to part with it. I'm still struggling to have to account for two outlets into the wall and no remote control but the sound is fantastic! Biggest difference between Mk II and MkIII for me was noise floor, which is hard to imagine since noise floor was already exceptionally low, but in my system it was evident right away.
First Sound Presence Deluxe mk III upgrade?
Having sold away the musically outstanding Ayre k1xe over the superb First Sound mkII, the time has now come to consider the upgrade path to the mkIII. Has anyone perform the upgrade and will like to comment further? I cannot imagine how the First Sound can improve further.... Thanks for the advice.
