Bacch Dsp, True stereo?
I am curious if anyone here has heard the Polk L800 speakers and if so how they sounded or at least how well they addressed the crosstalk issue. They were designed to eliminate some of the issues that this Bacch technology also addresses.

One more question. Has anyone ever put the speakers out away from a corner of the room so one speaker is left of a corner and the other is right. In other words they ar diagonal but well out away from each side wall. Would that be feasible?

Thanks for your suggestion. That makes a lot of sense to me too. I’m working on that extra 3 feet.

I’m all in. Here goes.

By the way, those speakers do prefer well closer to the wall but I would say they are best at least 2-3 feet away from the wall.

I stopped in the Carver room for just a couple minutes. I wish I could have stayed longer. I thought it sounded really good. I think he had his new amp and preamp but I did not catch what the speakers were. I didn’t see any literature anywhere to ...

Talked to Aurender tech too. He talked about Roon coming soon but was convinced it would not be a sonic match to Conductor. Hmm. Did anyone pop into the Carver room? If so, impressions?  
Dac Upgrade
Bigkidz do you even do upgrades on the $5600 holo May KTE?  
Potential upgrade path…
Ianx probably the best suggestion yet.

Pindac thanks for the advice. I have purchased used in the past and I agree dollar for dollar it’s better than buying new. By doing that I might be able to get into some arc equipment or some other high end amplifier and preamplifier so I think th...

Thanks a lot. If I make any changes that make a difference I’ll report them.
