Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] BW 802D Speakers. Tempted.

business for MF and other megawatt builders (krell, bryston, etc). Its not a question of superpower amps, but a question of super inefficient speakers.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] External DAC - what are the specific advantages?

to the performance of the Benchmark But of course, comparisons are relevant But I don't think those measurments really reveal why DAC1 is far better than the SB3 DAC. Cheers -Harald N -- haraldo Suse Linux - SB3 - Benchmark DAC1 - Krell KAV400xi - Meadowlark Kestrel2 Everything is difficult before

are improved dynamics, there are no passive components between the amp and the speaker and that also clearly improve the dynamics... Improvement dependent on the complexity of the filter, ref the extremely complex filters in some BW models, that steal power and dynamics -Harald N -- haraldo Suse Linux
