The wyred4sound sx1000r’s are incredible, the Crown made them sound like four drivers making music, the 1000r’s made it all come together without the drivers calling attention to themselves. I really didn’t notice it till I switched, it was a huge improvement. One of the complaints about class d amps is they sound sterile and dry, the Wyred4sound amps don’t, they really sound wonderful in my opinion. I have to say though, I haven’t listened to really high end amps in a while. My friend has some older Mark Levinson amps hooked up to the big Polk SDA’s. I think my system walks all over his and he agrees. I’ve never been a Polk fan, they sound fine but they just miss something. I have to have a capable speaker because my taste in music runs the gamut. His Polks are just too laid back I guess, the L7’s I think are way underrated, but I’m a big fan. They say they sound best with short ceilings and my basement is about 8ft so that might be why they sound so sweet. If they have a shortcoming I would say it’s the tweeter’s. Really other than the upgrading the L7’s i think a nice tube preamp and I’m done. I’ve done the home theater thing, but honestly with a great set of speakers surround sound is a waste. My two channel sounds better even with room correction. I love Blu-ray concert’s on the projector, lots of fun.
I have a pair of Polk CRS, I stole them for $50. They sound nice, I made a set of cables to connect them together. I did the one tweeter unhook which helped. The problem with them is the tiny sweet spot, move your head and you lose it. I forgot how much power decent bookshelf speakers need. I have slowly turned up the crown and it’s at full power and the Bic’s are handling it fine. The cabinet’s are what really impress me, they are built like a tank. Walter Trout sounds great, cables come for the sub today, can’t wait. Turns out this is going to be a great sounding little system for pennies. I’ve read about the Polk upgrade, I think each has 4 tweeters if I remember right, I think his problem may be his room is too small for the Polk’s.
