I should add it took the LPM upgrade to achieve this performance.

Milpai, I was describing firstly the Acoustats' ability, and then the Oppo's effect on them. The Oppo makes it sound like I upgraded the amps. Reminds me of the Boothroyd Stuart Meridian 105 monos I got in 1978. Fast, punchy, great mid range, very...

My reference is a pair of Acoustat Monitor 3 with the direct drive servo charge OTLs. The transparency of these renders any source stark naked. Bottom octave is sharp, articulate, and weighty, no overhang or ringing revealing the true potential of...

I suspect they deliberately leave an open door for those of us who like to build on the design. Covers a larger market that way.

wolf, when the majority fall into a median average with some significantly better and some worse, that is when the system is at the mercy of the recording. When there is no median, that is when some are enhanced by the components, and some are deg...

System neutrality is gauged by the percentage sq/signature of your music collection. The higher the quality similarity, the more neutral the system. The more polar, the more skewed the performance characteristics of the components are. How that re...
