Whoa klipsch x10 for 80ish? How are those btw? Sorry I'm late to the party.

Oppo 103

Weezer - Pinkerton

I presume the update is given...orally? (Too easy)

Well one thing is for sure it's versatile. I mean it literally does everything, other than fellate you. $1300 for that is not too bad.

I'm guessing that's a field coil magnet.

Yeah Jon at Lowther America is pretty adamant that the older bullet style plugs have better dispersion than the newer "shower head" ones - he said the new ones actually whistle at certain frequencies. When I got my dx65's he didn't even bother asking me for a choice and just put the bullet style on them.

My god...at first I thought those horns were part of the room. Nope just large ass f'in corner horns that's all.

You mean Nelson didn't buy everything out?

Sweetness.

No you don't you want to release it in the wide k thx.

The GS-1 is completely opposite of the Melos and to this day remains one of the most refined and transparent amps I have ever listened too.

I concur. I've always thought the Grado Melos thing was way overhyped. However it sounds like something is wrong with your Melos. Mellow was never my impression, it was always more on the side of way too hot, way too much gain, and just really a raw, unrefined sound. I think that's why people liked it, because it was basically loud and gritty and the whole Grado rock thing made sense.

Time to start looking at replacing my crappy HT soundbar and looking at getting a cheap receiver and some bookshelves - those prices for the apparent quality is ridiculous.

Obviously. Oh and moar bass.

Ok, this is truly a serious question...it appears the original point of the 3A was to do the crossover digitally which would take care if time and phase issues. Then the patent issues were brought up and he went back to the old crossover in the iem and the 3a simply became a tri amp system with bass control. Now it Appears the crossover in the iem has been redesigned to account for time and phase issues which the 3a supposedly had taken care of. So why would someone go with the 3a currently vs just a normal freqphased jh16?

So is the freqphase basically the crossover done right, making it time and phase aligned? If so, is the JH3A essentially obsolete?

Ask srajan?

I can't wait to borrow yours. K thx.

The 103 has volume control on its analog outputs, so I'm sure the 105 has it too. The 105 I believe has an actual preamp board whereas the 103 is just digital attenuation, but don't quote me on that.

I am convinced that if you can handle its quirks the hd800 truly is an end of the road dynamic.

My 103 came in Thursday. It is real snappy - the loading time is impressive. The hdmi input and upscaling/deinterlacing of my Comcast box is actually better than I expected. I thought I wouldn't see a difference but even on my lowly panny g25 it's definitely a cleaner picture, less noise, and looks smoother. Avatar and dark knight looked great but the 83 was no slouch. I'm going to see how it handles the Apple TV and my random iPad stuff using the front hdmi input.

Vandersteens are nice. I've always been curious about Jordan's though in a simple 35" mltl. I won't complain about my Lowther alerions.

Shouldn't your comparison be: M100 is to the momentum what the 650 is to the 600?

103 - team less stuff inside.
