I will attempt to answer all queries, and since I am on tapatalk I can't do the multiple quote thingee to answer each query under the appropriate quote.
@ Dr. Bass: I actually don't think I will sell off the accuphase because what it is doing, and I have tried it with all sorta Di speakers like my erstwhile 801, heard the Thiel 2.4 and 3.7, then a pair of Hatbeths and even a Tannoy Monitor Gold 15".
The amp simply rocks on all speakers and with all genres with equal ease. The tone is awesome. Unmistakable.
With the resurrections, if I have to do better, I'll have to buy the canasta mono blocks plus a very very expensive pre amp. Even then, the difference would be marginal and I think I will miss the tonal quality of the accuphase.
So for now, an amp upgrade is more in the realm of fantasy.
@ Ajay: I think my reply to Dr bass answers you as well
@ Thad, I have a one and a half hear old son. The speakers are safe with him around. Two reasons for that ; the speakers are not flimsy by any standards and 2 my son is now very trained! He knows the discipline for the listening room. The only problem I have with him is to get him to get off my listening chair!
@avid: the bass port is at the bottom rear... Will take a snap of that assembly as well, because there is science to that as well.,, it isn't just a simple hole...
@ someone else who mentioned the room being devoid of too many electronics and hence being full of music. You sir, ate very perceptive. The room has loads of music. Over 1600 CDs and 2000 Lps.... All on shelfa that have been done in such a way that they also act as simple room treatment. Will post pictures once I back in delhi.
Incidentally, I have just landed in Bangalore! Will meet up a lot of the Bangalore folks on Monday and Tuesday evening!
