Thanks for the feedback. I think what I mean by brightness is that the SB3 sounds a bit muted (even flat) to me. I am not looking to introduce any artificial attributes to the sound. Perhaps it is more detail and slightly less warmth then. I absolutely love the speaks and amp so am not gong to make a change there. -- cgull cgull SB3 > Melody SP7 > Onix Ref-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cgull's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13453 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39892 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
