APL NWO2.5 ?

I have had the NWO-2.5 in possession for a few months now.
My system had never sounded better. There is no digital glare. The midrange is sensational. The sound staging is the best I have heard.
The NWO-2.5 can also embarrass a state of the art analogue system.
I also own the EMM Lab signature units and also the Spectral 4000S in two other systems. By far the Apl NWO-2.5 is my all time favorite. As Jeff mentioned above , it compares favorably to Life music.

Better than life, by God! I remember shortly after I heard Dahlquist DQ-10s for the first time, I heard an orchestra performace at a local college. My brother asked me how it had sounded. Good, I said...but not as good as the Dahlquists.

Are there any owners of NWO 2.5 in LA area? I Would love to audition this unit.

Apogee made an excellent effort to convey the sound signature of the NWO 2.5 and differentiate from typical digital sound. I agree, Live music should be the absolute reference. It will be also helpful if he comapres NW0 sound with Dcs elgar/purcell combo he has had.

Hifirabbit, could you also post comparision of NW02.5 with Emm labs?

Nilthepill, there will be one in the LA area very soon – a week or two. The owner is willing to accommodate audiophiles interested to audition the NWO-2.5

Please send me email if interested so I can forward it to the owner.

Alex, could you post some specs on NWO 2.5? How do its internals differ from NWO1 and NWO2? Thanks, Guido
