Like me, you probably don’t need a sub… I’m not ready to spend 20K on a pair of super sophisticated subs myself either. But they certainly look amazing.
No sub on my end. I do lust for a pair of W371A though… Not sure I really need it, but I have hopes it would fix any resonances in my room GLM can’t fix with EQ. And of course give me a full range system with plenty of headroom. Maybe next year…
GLM EQ will give you more clarity. In my room without EQ, bass was too pronounced.
But yeah, best speakers I ever had in my decades long journey. I don’t even think about speakers anymore… I’d recommend feeding them a digital signal not to add extra D/A and A/D stages when using a DAC.

Thank you Amir for the great review !
I got a pair of Era 300 for my office a few months ago and they are great for that purpose, even the Era 100 I tested before the 300 were pretty good too. Hard to fault in any critical way and easy to use, I can stream music directly from Roon, bypassing the...
The Gens lows will benefit by being placed near the wall, and GLM will then reduce low frequency output quite a bit to compensate, keeping a fairly flat low end response without taxing the speakers. In my room, my 8351B without calibration sound disappointing, boomy and without focus, GLM is a...
I’m not sure this is accurate… I think the 8351B have very little coloration. I wouldn’t call them “metallic”. They are designed to be as neutral and accurate as possible, and that’s not warm, or textured, or having a rich midrange. The metallic coloration might not be a product of the speakers...

Selling my Okto Research Dac8. I’m the original owner, bought new directly from Okto Research in September 2020.
This dac is very well rated by Audio Science Review, in their top 20, with a measured SINAD of 122.3 dB.
It comes with a Pi4 built in for streaming with the latest version of...
Yes, subtle, subjective. I've swapped a few times between AES outputs and felt music on the new transformer "flowed" better... I don't have sophisticated test equipment to validate, but my ears are not too bad, decades of mileage...
