slwiser Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 I'm going to wind up buying an O2, aren't I? We are getting a lot of help in this passion aren't we. When do you think you will be committed; I mean committing? Quote
aardvark baguette Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 I don't enjoy being a copy cat, but it is looking unavoidable... ...Soon the rebellion will be crushed and young OII will be one of us. Send the fleet to the far side of Endor... there it will stay until called for. Quote
tkam Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 But holy shit it's like an ultra resolving (minus the midbass hump) L3000. I actually think that's fairly accurate in the sense that the O2's share a pretty similar tonality to the L3000. The O2's do kill them in resolution and speed though. Quote
postjack Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 i think this might be the most sweeping HC FOTM we've had. true we have more regular posters now then ever, but still, wow. i blame staxman spritzer. Quote
deepak Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Posted May 31, 2008 I actually think that's fairly accurate in the sense that the O2's share a pretty similar tonality to the L3000. The O2's do kill them in resolution and speed though. The thing I really like with the O2 is they are really holographic soundstage wise. Something I really missed in the L3000. I think the O2 midrange is a bit "cooler" than the midrange heavy L3000. Definitely agree that the O2 bests them in speed and resolution. I can't wait to feed the O2 some tubes Quote
deepak Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Posted May 31, 2008 Another thing I noticed is where the L3000 is pretty much bass heavy all the time, the O2 is only bass heavy when called for. ie The National - Boxer is dominated/lead by the drums/bass lines (overall dark sounding album) that sounds so good on the O2. But put in a bass light CD like the Led Zep remasters and the bass is definitely lacking. They are definitely very resolving of recordings. Quote

The Monkey Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 We are getting a lot of help in this passion aren't we. When do you think you will be committed; I mean committing? We're closing on an apartment at some point this summer. If I pull the trigger prior to that, then I'll have to sell the O2 immediately for the alimony payments--unless I get them SuperNinja style.

grawk Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 [me=postjack]drinks deeply of the delicious staxen-aid [/me] That mean you decided to not pack them away in your closet? Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 I have no plans whatsoever in getting a pair of O2's. 4070's, on the other hand... Quote
deepak Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Posted June 1, 2008 4070's, on the other hand... Dew eet, I've been reading about you wanting the 4070 since I registered Quote
Voltron Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 I have no plans whatsoever in getting a pair of O2's. 4070's, on the other hand... How about some 4070s and a nice cappuccino? The setup looks great Deepak, and I hope you enjoy the O2s more than I did. Quote
postjack Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 That mean you decided to not pack them away in your closet? at the price I got them at I'd have a hard time letting them go, even if speakers followed by the HD650 get more headtime. Quote
Voltron Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 Fun with homonyms. Sorry. Plus, are you too young to even know those TV ads? Man, I'm an old fuck. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 ...are you too young to even know those TV ads? Man, I'm an old fuck...I remembered them and got the joke and laughed immediately, no worries, fellow geezer. Quote
Voltron Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 I remembered them and got the joke and laughed immediately, no worries, fellow geezer. I'm relieved, but still an old fuck. Quote
guzziguy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 I'm relieved, but still an old fuck. Shit, I wish that I were as young as you. Then maybe I could stay up till 5am for 3 days in a row. Quote
Smeggy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Shit, I wish that I were as young as you. Then maybe I could stay up till 5am for 3 days in a row. I'm good for one, maybe two 5am stints but then I'm toast. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Shit, I wish that I were as young as you. Then maybe I could stay up till 5am for 3 days in a row.I'm too old for that shit anymore. I can stay up 'til 5am as many days in a row...as long as I sleep 'til 1pm the next day...this burning the candle at both ends shit ended years ago. Quote
