| Esoteric DV-60 or SA-60 Here is an excerpt from a 2006 Ultra Audio Review of the Esoteric DV60. "Esoteric says the SA-60, which I haven’t yet heard in my system, sounds exactly like the DV-60. If you trust manufacturers’ claims or don’t mind rolling the dice when it come... | |
| Esoteric DV60 I can't speak to the SQ of the DV60, but; still have the DV50S set up for 5.1 Analog out into a Classe SSP800. The playback of SACD's is superb. All of my 2 Channel listening is with the K-03. Would assume the DV60 would be a step up from the DV50S. | |

| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. "In my systems current evolution , the recordings are the weak link in the chain. The gear is capable of being much more accurate and musical than current recordong technology allows". emailistWell said and the underlying truth in pursuit of audi... | |
| Amp recommendation in the $6000 range I have heard the V3's with Pass XA100's, Hovland Radia, Bryston 7BSST, Chord Monoblocks ($26,000; can't remember model number) and Rowland M312 in the same room. The Pass Amps were the best to my ear...excellent synergy with V's. May be a tad out ... | |
