Human memory is a very deceiving thing. You may remember how a Ferrari or other car was brilliant 20 years ago, but drive it now against latest models and suddenly the senses are dulled."prove significantly more capable than their predecessors"
"but this new version is obviously better across the board"
Yet again, based on review comments like this, anything from three or four generations ago must have been mediocre at best. The awards must be just around the corner.
I agree, in the US or some other markets there's a wonderful Cherrywood/Black finish. Don't know why it's not available here.That wood-look alike finish is horrendous.
It looks very much similar to the cheapest DALI speakers. Blend-in with modern furniture from IKEA.That wood-look alike finish is horrendous.
WHF were of-course being relative. If one heard the originals for the first time, I don’t think you would notice or complain.You bought your celebrated 5-star speakers two months ago and all of a sudden they sound bloated and blurred. An anniversary is necessary to make a minor engineering change to make essentially the same speakers really sound good... How should you feel about this?
You are absolutely right of courseWHF were of-course being relative. If one heard the originals for the first time, I don’t think you would notice or complain.
Manufacturers however are entitled to update at their will. Also the updated model is 50 quid more expensive, and would not warrant an upgrade from the original. The money saved would buy me a nice pile of CDs.
I suspect they’re significantly superior, though the old DM4 did have a lovely veneered cabinet iirc.How do they compare with the B&W DM4's?
