Default Amp for KEF iQ9


"Sharad"


I would like to mention that different speakers do sound totally different
to me, based on the music I am playing.



** But YOU have not head them in your own room ( must be a well damped
one or all bets are off) linked to the exact same gear, matched for volume
level and with the ability to AB at will - have you ???




For example, the ones that play good beats and dance music (Polk, JBL,
Jamo X series, etc.) turn out to be poor performers when reproducing
voice, or timber of a violin.

It was an interesting discovery for me that EPOS M5 is better at
reproducing voices like Nora Jones, and Diana Krall,



** How the HELL do YOU have any idea what the voice quality on the CDs you
auditioned ought to sound like - eh ??

Was Nora or Diana there ???

Had a credible reference speaker there to compare with at the same time -
ie Quad ESL 63s or 988s ??

Or even a decent pair of headphones ???????

Obviously not.




than EPOS 12.2 or EPOS 22; though the M5 sound starts distorting as soon
as you insert a dance CD. I wonder if amps too have similar
characteristics.



** Keep on wondering.

Asinine ****heads like YOU are totally incorrigible.

The criminal scum that some jokingly refer to as " hi-fi sales men " will
just EAT YOU ALIVE and rob you blind.

Buuuuuuurrrrrrrpppppp......
