ohhh, mannnnn.......

Last night was a good time. Some pics in my thread over on AC in the GAS area.
The SSR's really came into their own with the Odysseys. The bottom end came out more but tightened up, presentation and imaging was very good, etc.
We later switched over to a fully Bolder modded analog SB3 with the latest uber-power supply. Compared it to the stock SB2 digital out to MHDT and the digital mod out to the MHDT. The digital mod/MHDT was pretty close to the analog but the full mod was definitely smoother and more organic. I'd have loved to put my smaller PS on it and see how much was the PS and how much was the mods. I might have to break down and get the analog mods for my 2nd SB.
Unfortunately, my PC was acting up and not wanting to play some of the ripped music from some of the CD's. Not sure what was up but I wasn't a happy camper.
Lastly, we put my Dynaudio's back in the chain with the full blown analog SB3/PS direct to my Korato. I'm spoiled now. Can't want till the amps break in and then will snitch the SB/PS again from Scott.
Also, Scott said that he just got the latest from Paul H. - the Sentinels. Said they were really nice the little bit he got to listen to them. Will report back on those after I hear them - hopefully in the next week or so. Had my eye on those but wanted to hear them after hearing the big ones. Looks like I'll get the chance.

I saw the pics..wish I could have been there.
I realize it's hard to compare the SSR's ( (1) woof) with the Dyn's ((2) woofs)..but how would you describe the mids and highs?

Mids are a bit more laid back on the Dyns - though the SSR's are not forward sounding. The top end is a tough call. The Esotar tweeter is just something special - though ribbons do their own thing on strings and high harmonics.
Overall, I'd have to give the edge to the Dyns in the highs and mids. Now, how much of that is because the Dyn mid doesnt' have to do bass at the same time is a good question. It would be more fair to compare the SSR's with a smaller set of 2 way Dyns.

Bryan, one more question :oops:
Last Oct. @ RMAF, I listened to the ACI Sapphire XL long enough to determine two things: 1) I liked 'em!; 2) They did have a bit of a rise in the area around 150hz, it seemed, giving them a warmer sound.
I'm wondering if you think that's a characteristic of the SS driver?- or do you think Mike 'voiced' them that way. Does the SSR have that same or similar characteristic?
I'm still tempted to try a diy or custom made speaker using the SS mid/woofer along with a Hiquphon OW1fs like I mentioned a while back in the speaker ward. Trying to pin down whether to use SS..or something else. TIA..
