Attack and Decay

The guy that I bought my Dyns from was driving them with the S300i when I went to check them out. When I hooked them up to my tube amp they sounded great at first, but as I explored more of my music collection I felt something was missing. That's when I bought my currrent amp.

I will have to find a dealer to give them a listen. Of course I am curious what the owner of the Dyn's bought to replace them. I really like the S-300i and I look forward to hearing it through a speaker upgrade.

I will try and contact him and see if he's picked up new speakers yet. He was in his first year of law school and had moved into a hi-rise apartment and the Dyns were just too much speaker for the room with neighbors to deal with. He talked about getting a nice set of bookshelves to use until his living arrangment changes.

PMC love Bryston amplification, so I think they might also take a liking to Krell. Had the TB2i for a while, running with Naim, and it was an amazing speaker overall that I think is likely to give you the balance you are looking for.

I had a complaint against me at 2:30 PM about how loud my stereo was playing. I was rocking out with Emmylou Harris. They called the office and when I went out to walk my dog one of the office staff was listening. I invited her in to hear my stereo. Her comment is that she plays her radio louder than that. She loved my apartment. Those damned RS6's and their good bass. Of course they complained about the music from the stand mount speakers. So now I am thinking about Klipsch K Horns and with Krell power they will have something to complain about.

I will have to check and see if we still have a PMC dealer. The one shop closed but I had heard them briefly but long before I had the Krell. The Krell to me is very neutral so I do not want any speakers with elevated highs and it will not brighten up a warm or dull speaker. I remember the PMC's as neutral with solid bass. I will check them out.

Yeah, it just wasn't always there. Especially on big symphony pieces and some rock music with complex passages.
