Hi all,
Just auditioned the DALI Epicon 6, the JMR Orfeo Supreme, PMC Twenty 26s, and Naim Orator S-400s...
I tried the Naims first and didn't particularly find them to my liking.
Next up were the Dali & the JMR which I liked pretty much equally. I'd like to learn a bit more but can't find much in the way of reviews or public opinion threads on either brand unfortunately. Both models run about $10'000 which is more than what I was planning on spending...so I have to wonder if such a jump is worthwhile (I was originally thinking of B&W 804 D2s for $6'400).
The PMCs I auditioned last. Perhaps this was a mistake. After the DALI & JMR, I just found them a bit lacking. My original intention was to see if they'd suit me better than the B&W 804 D2s...but they're still $8'500 here in Switzerland. I found them in Ireland for about $6'000 but I'm not sure as to the hassle of shipping, setting things up myself, after sales service, etc.
So....I don't know...other than liking them...is there a compelling reason to go with DALI or JMR?
Throughout this process I keep thinking of the old adage...
"Better is the enemy of Good Enough"....
