Here's a tricky question for those in the know...
I can afford either a pair of new SST3 7's or a pair of ex-demo 28 SST2's.
Pre-amp is an SP3 and speakers are Vandersteen Quatros, the ones with the built-in 300W active subwoofers.
I've been using a Theta Dreadnaught for about a decade, but am about to move to a bigger place and think that upgrading to Bryston monoblocks will improve the soundstage, separation and noise floor.
As the speakers are partially active, it may be unnecessary to have the 1k of power of the 28's, but all of the reviews I've read suggest they also have detail and delicacy to rival Tubes...
...but what I don't know is whether the new 7's will match or even surpass that.
Thoughts anyone ?
