JPW ML-510. ****ing awesome speakers. They are no less than my IMF Super Compact II or Vifa Vivaces. I cannot believe how brilliant their bass is, taking their size in account. There's really a lot of it and it's good too. Not pushy, not boomy, just clean bass with an awesome amount of depth. Brilliant stereo imaging, voices are very subtle but very present. The tweeter has an awful lot of detail without being annoying at all.
They are next to my computer monitor now, replacing my beloved old Wharfedale 504's.
Another gain:
A Rotel RA-960BX. It's just better than my audiolab, period.
Compared to the Rotel, the audiolab sounds dull, lacks control in bass, lacks detail, lacks energy.
Yes the Audiolab is really a very good amplifier, but the Rotel kicks is ass. And it's way cheaper.
For sale: Audiolab 8000SE
2 years old, about a year warranty left, works like new, has some minor scratches (it collided with my belt when I took it out of the cabinet to plug in new interlinks some time back
). Anyone?
