Yes but it's likely been many, many years since you had/heard entry-level speakers. I would imagine you're going from $5000/pr speakers to $6000/pr speakers now, surely the gains are smaller than going from $100/pr Cerwin Vegas to $1000/pr Energy Cs like I did...the difference was immense. I've changed amplification 4 times since then with much smaller effects, and I went from a DVD player playing CDs to a Squeezebox 3 then a Transporter with good increases in sound quality each time, but not nearly as much as with the speakers. Plus going from one room to another when I moved had a huge effect as well, unfortunately, not for the better. This is OT though. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29353 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
