d_a_n1979:Good write up that PP I'm hoping that this may give some of the RS6's 'dissers' some food for thought!
It's unlikely, dan. Where there's life. . . .
... there's ME ...
Joking aside, I go back to what I said earlier. You are used to 'boom boxes' and whilst I would not question their existence in a HT system, for music they lack certain qualities which you can normally only attain by spending more, or at the very least by spending the cash on quality drivers/components rather than swish looking cabs. AS ALWAYS, MY ONION ONLY.
That plus the ridiculous difference in size/number of drivers between the boom box and a DB1 will have seriously unbalanced what you're used to. You can always add bass by means of a sub if you really feel the need for it. What you can't add is clarity, openness, imaging and all the other good bits a quality speaker can add to your system by compromising these by way of a compromised transducer in those departments.
I might add, in the interest of some balance
that I actually enjoyed the RS6 for a brief period with a sympathetic amp. It did'nt last long though ...
Your back on form, DM. I did make it crystal clear in my post that I didn't for one moment expect the DB's to have the depth. It's just they didn't, to my ears, do enough to justify spending £1,000. Yes, the MA's do have deficiences: the main one being they can be a little heavy-handed with certain types of music if cranked up. It's a trade-off, cause play a block buster film and they really shine. As you know, DM, hi-fi is, unless you have money to burn, a compromise.
