Hey all just wanted to give a little input on one other component i added to the chain. I got a PI Audio Digibuss since my whole setup is all digital and have to say I am very happy with it just made things clearer which to be honest did think was possible lol. I love the fact its a little black box in the back out of the way.
Also did some comparison between my HO alnico and HO RS5 monitor. bascially I suck at describing things but bare with me.
The rs5 speakers are fast and clean and seem to have a little more snap to them than the Alnico but the alnico has better texture and tone just a tad less snappy.
The alnico are to me at least richer tone and the rs5 have a cleaner tone if that makes any sense. I love them both and have no wish to part with either.
The rs5 are movie and music duty downstairs and the alnico are main system for music and every now then its nice to swap them for a tad different sound. I have watched some movies with the rs5 and have to say pretty impressed with the clarity and bass coming from these monitors with using my maratnz sr6008 reciever.
Eventually i plan to ad a sub for the movie section but so far not feeling a need for a sub for alnico towers and they seem to be still breaking in, not sure how much hours i have on them.
I would be soo tempted to try to get the new RS8 driver speaker but i have too many speakers already with the two sets of omegas i have lol. Dang this hobby it never ends haha
Have a good one all and enjoy the music
