Hi,
another newbie here, I have been going over thte forum threads quite for sometime, also looking for a BS pair. Today I happened to audition WF 9.2/10.1 @Vectors, Blr. It was like both met around 80-85 percent of my expectations. I found the results similar to what suggested by many others in the forum
- 10.1 was crisper compared to 9.2 - found Dream On(Aerosmith) bang on in 10.1.
- 10.1 didnot handle the drums very well - Radha Kaise Na Jale(Lagaan).
- But when I played Teri Diwani(Kailash Kher), i was dissappointed with both, couldn't really figure out what was missing, seemed like lacking in fuller effect - might be I was a bit tired of listening and comparing - never b4 done in my life. Benchmark are my headphones.
- The guy played Kenny G, it sounded same on both.
- He also played Masakali(Delhi-6), here 10.1 seemed to skid at one place - which I guess was due to the non-"timing" thing that people refer to.
Out of the two I more inclined to consider 9.2.
From what I have read here, I have planned to audition Polks Audio towards the end. Because I hear a lot of that KEF/Polks make the sound sweet. not sure it is a good thing or bad, I would have to wait till I figure that out. So can't really comment on it. But I want to try now S-520, Dali Iketor/Mentor/Ikon - no idea what is what, CA, MS - I could locate dealers in Blr for them, that's another reason too - i just hope I can audition them as I could @Vector's
