thanks kphinney, appreciate the constructive response I've always been a fan of rotel as well, and I quite like my RB-1080, for the price point it suited the purpose fine
I guess I tried to go for a balance between raw power/aesthetics & musical refinement.... when I listen to say some acoustic, jazz, or deep house sounds, I want to hear perfect percussion & tight bass... when I listen to something more uptempo say some deep tech, minimal, or electro, I want raw power and deep bass, and when I watch movies I want the high end surround sound.... all whilst looking good (hence the Beosound) in my house for the most part I think I achieved that somewhat, however wanted to upgrade to a better DAC and have a transport for my digital music and live sets/recordings, so the TP seemed like the perfect product the more I play around with it and listen, the more I find myself falling in love with it unfortunately due to the layout of the room I was limited with my speaker placement and they can't be moved... though obviously my system could do with a bit of tweaking, so I'll give what you suggested a bell over the w/end and see how she sounds :) -- FARQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FARQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70132 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
