Darren - interesting that you used the word "difference"...were you hoping they would sound the same? - and I presume that you are taking different to mean "not as good"? - could you describe what you hear as the "difference". It may well be (flame proof suit on) that the SB is actually the more accurate...that doesn't mean of course that you are not allowed to prefer the Monarchy! It is your system/ears/money! After all, that's why a lot of people prefer vinyl ...(thermonuclear-proof suit on) :o) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20855 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
