so I bit the bullet, swapped out the 4308 & 1080, for a Rotel RSP-1570 processor & RMB-1575 5ch poweramp... my sound guy did a pretty decent trade in on the old amps too so was well happy with that fired up the TP, ran the 1570 in 2ch bypass mode... WOW so this is what my 703s should have been sounding like all this time? there's finally actual BASS coming from them heh you're right, very shocked at what i've been missing... the difference the new Class D amps have made is astounding... a more clinical sound yes, but far more engaging, i'm hearing sounds never knew where there before before my system sounded pretty average at low volumes, and quite harsh at very high volumes.... now it's crystal clear and smooth at any volume, no brittle harshness even when I really belt it out even playing CDs in the Beosound is infinitely better plus the amps run so cool the TP doesn't overheat anything like it use to thanks for the advice, much appreciated! :) now if I can just get the issue with Duet remote constantly going to sleep and crashing every time i 'wake it up', and be able to fast-foward when using .cue files for single mp3/flac mixed file, i'll be a right happy camper :D -- 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
