I wonder what on earth or in heaven user "highfidelity" might be talking about when he calls the Rotel's input sensitivity of 2 volts "absurd" when as we all know, 2V is a totally benign, standard, middle-of-the-road, "nothing-to-see-here" input sensitivity for a power amplifier, with many, MANY...

Just wondering how you ended up, Fact 8 vs. ATC?

Um, just my opinion but I would have to disagree. Having extensively auditioned the Fact 3 and owned the Fact 8 for several months, it is clear that the bass does not consist mainly of bloated mid-bass. First, the bass goes very, very deep. Second, the mid-bass, while admittedly less detailed...

CD/SACD - Marantz SA-11S1 with output coupling caps changed to REL Audiocap PPT Thetas 1uF. The stock electrolytics are insanely high capacitance for no good reason (unless you are sending it into a headphone amplifier, which often has low input impedance) Vinyl - Roksan Xerxes X with tabriz...

I own these now, they are just breaking in. So far, I love their sound. Tight, fast, very musical and dynamic. They are instantly lovable and don't do anything wrong (I mean in a big-picture sense... of course, every speaker has some faults). If I had anything to mention in the negatives...
