These perhaps are the best deal at the 2L mark. I like these better than the ATC SCM19V2. Those got sold the moment these came into the picture. I like these better than the purely midrangey Harbeths. etc etc...
So, without digressing further allow me to insert the 1st listening impression that I had in the first three days itself. Now, this is an impression that I wrote for Jacob @ Rethm. Simply copying and pasting the impression here for the first installment.
I will also be putting a video here. But do bear in mind that the speakers at this time were hardly played for 3 hours... and nowhere near even the basic minimum burn-in requirements. and while the source and the power amp are superb here, the preamp is an el cheapo Schitt passive... But, all in all the Bhaava's did impress me and the wife a lot!
So, here is my 1st impression as recounted to Jacob @ rethm:
It is a very different sound. Has resolution in spades... Like the ATC but has soul... Which the ATC lacks entirely...
The Bhaavas are really a very lovely set... Very musical, huge soundstage... They disappear into the room...
By the time i finished playing the third song, my wife rushed in from the other room... And gushed, "are these the new speakers? Wow!"
This has never happened... In over 15 speaker upgrades in the last 10 years of marriage...
She loves the sound as much as me I guess.. yes these are special!!!
Now she is suggesting that we move them to the living room... As she loves the way they look too!!!
But that's not going to happen!!
More later!!
Here is the video link...
Keep tuned in, for the post burn in review.. also the New EAR 912 also popped in and then a 3rd impression! so, stay tuned... The above is just a starter! LOL.
