random thought but...
I listened to these last night a bit more. Had my apple library on shuffle. Came across a few tracks I hadn't heard in a while. My goodness, do these speakers sound fantastic. And this made me think to myself... it's going to be hard to subjectively review speakers going forward after having heard these. I was enthralled with the Revel F226Be. But these speakers are better in pretty much every facet. I have a set of the JBL HDI-3800 up for review and they are awesome speakers in their own right. But, again, the performance DD8c is hard to forget. I've been spoiled. LOL
And, yes, of course, I will continue to subjectively review speakers. And I will do so within their own merits and limitations. Certainly, reviewing a $200 set of bookshelf speakers implies limitations in performance that should not necessarily be compared against something like the DD8c. My point is simply: having heard "the next best thing" with these speakers is going to make it awful hard for anything else to hold a candle. But, then again, most of the speakers I review are nowhere near the cost of these.
