i have just had nearly 4hours of swapping my br5's and br1's on my main hifi and just came to the answer that the br1's give a much more of detailed and social listen. And maybe there a touch more reallistic. The br5's just go to deep and in way you can miss the key areas in music like,the who,the doors etc. It may be a factor that my arcam amp does seem quite forward and the dac-magic has added depth and punch. So i now have a hifi of br1's and my fronts of my home cinema are br5's looks silly to have them on the outside but hey.
I will say that i have wooden floor above a shop,they are 10inch away from a plasterboard wall and they are only 7ft apart so im sure the br5's are good its just wrong place wrong time. I must admit that bruce on blu ray/xbox360 sounds good through the floorstanders been able to turn my rubbish sub down to 60hz which has helpted no end.
so in the next 5 weeks if anyone sees any unreal offers on these bookshelfs post them please im looking/demoing the follow asap
kef iq30-dali ikon-rs1's(if i can find anyone who still has them)-whalfdale10.1's
i am giving the rx1's-b&w685 and the mezzo2's out cause i have a feeling that the laid back detailed long listen is not them.
has anyone else got a sorry along them lines.
