Hi
If I’m honest, I’m still torn between the LS3/5a’s and the MarkAudio Sots’s. They both have strengths and weaknesses and I need to decide which suits me the best, or rather which weakness I can live with.

I see, always difficult to choose…like motorbikes…road…offroad…cruising…touring :innocent: …
So i’ve decided having 3 bikes :grin:

On my side, I’ve just finalized my order for a pair of new Falcon Golden Badge (Walnut) to challenge my current Proac 10 Signature.

Very excited about this comparison

I like your thinking regarding bikes. :rofl:

Sounds like you have some fun times ahead when your LS3/5a’s arrive. Let us know your thoughts when you have them.

The cable may well end up de-stressed, you certainly won’t be getting it there…

Speaking of… Will have the opportunity to try a 555PS DR connected to my 272 instead of my XPS DR, you who had one what can I expect Blackbird?:thinking:

1873

Less money in the bank :smile::+1: As I remember it the wow effect was from nothing to XPSDR. But the 555 is more refined, more relaxed and much better. Let it sit for a week until you change back and you will hear its greatness.

Less money in the bank - Does that mean you don’t think it’s worth it?:thinking: I want to remember that you thought it was a real lift in terms of sound.

1875

I’m assuming you will keep it and that it cost you more than XPS :blush:

1876

Not mine to keep-Borrowing it from a friend. But that’s not what I meant, understood you were joking :slight_smile: More on whether you think it was worth looking for one, purely in terms of sound?:thinking:

1877

Yes! :blush::+1:
