Bryceeboy, you've piqued my curiosity. Would you please expound on that statement?
To Soundlab or not to Soundlab?
OK, I'm a long time planar / stat lover and have been running dynamics for the past two years and long to get back into 'stats.
I'm looking at the Soundlabs and wonder what experiences people have had with these things and what amp / cable combos have worked well with them. My preference is for near field / focused rather than distant / diffused, and a transparent sound with an emphasis on voal palpability with freedom from grain and a sense of full harmonic development. I listen at low to moderate volumes and listen primarily to femal vocal, small ensemble, acoustic and small scale electronic with the occaisional classical work thrown in for good measure.
My room is 18' by 13.5'with the system set up on the short wall with a live end / dead end treatment using a custom echobuster package. Front end is CD using a CEC TL2 with G&D Transforms mods and the Thor DAC with tube output stage. I use ultimate attenuators rather than a preamp.
Any thoughts on which models / options I should start tracking down to evaluate? And how about amp and cable suggestions?
Thanks!
joe
