Did someone mentioned BASS!
My new PMC OB1 just opened up and released a can of woopass BASS! It is fast accurate bass that I am not accustomed to hearing in my Sonus Faber.
Hello Levi,
I know that feeling and hope you are enjoying your new speakers.
I was very happy with my OB1´s!
They will be better and better as their working hours add up.
predgrag....How do you like the new 7b's? I bet it makes a huge difference in soundstage, overall detail, and bass control. I made a similar change with my EB1is.' I started with a 400 watt stereo McIntosh amplifier and switched to 500 watt Mcintosh monoblocks. There was a huge difference such as I mentioned above. I wonder what the "difference" in sound is between our two systems with the same speakers? Both using similar power output monoblocs and such......interesting......
Hello Lyle1!
Well, as you know this is premiere league where we are now.
Let me decribe it this way:
4B SSTC is a nice V6 engine. Monoblocks are V8´s.
It is unlikely that we will use these engines to their 100% in domestic use but the feeling they give us is awesome!
There is plenty of fine detail to be discovered. Soundstage is a littlebit wider and far deeper.
Control over speaker´s drivers is incredible. It is clearly audible what is bass drum and what is bass guitar.
7B´s thanks to their damping factor are able to stop the bass membrane after bass drum hits once. There is no "ringing" afterwards.
It is fascinating how easily these amps play regardless of the listening level.
Overall balance remains the same whether listened at low levels or very loud.
I cannot say this improvement was 100% in performance.
It is rather 10% in performance. Clearly audible 10% that cost 100% more for amplification.
Any further percent costs logarithmically more!
Yes, I wish we were closer. I am in Zagreb/Croatia.
There are not many Macs around here. I am also curious about your system.
All the best!
