twl,
The speakers I am using are some MB Quart QLSP44XL and a cheap Sony DVD Player of yesteryear. I bought the MB Quarts of of Ubid.com about four years ago for about $200 brand new. It's a strange speaker. I emailed MB Quart about them and they've never heard of them. They have all German writing. I opened up the back and looked at the drivers and crossover. I was amazed at what I saw, huge inductors and poly caps mounted on a shock padded board. The drivers are German with heavy magnets and quality baskets. They are MTM floorstanders and about 90db with a titanium tweeter.
The Sonic Impact sounded great with them. They go pretty darn loud and disappear. With the Vecteur I have to use a DAC to smooth out the highs on these speakers but the SI makes them fatigue free with gobbs of resolution. The bass...it just blows me away. I have an expensive push pull tube system upstairs and I would rather hear this cheapo basement setup any day.
Pete
