LCD-3 has deep bass, LCD-2 has bass presence. One of the reasons I went back.
hi everyone! I'm going to buy LCD-3. Thinking about DAC and Amp. If it would be PWD MkII and EC Balanced Act - would it be great combination? is it possible to buy something better for this money (10k for all)?
MacedonianHero was right, anything that can drive LCD 2 well can drive LCD 3 too.
Is amping LCD 3 really that important? cuz on the same system, LCD 2 rev.1 have more bass presence and punch than LCD 3.

So I got my lcd-3's last night to pair with my new gungnir and mjolnir. I really have to say that I'm disappointed right out of the box. My psyt balanced cables don't arrive until tomorrow so they are currently connected single-ended with blue jeans interconnects. The gungnir has about 80hrs of burn in, mojo was on overnight so about 24hrs before I plugged in the lcds. For some reason they don't sound like the loaner pair I had with my bifrost/lyr. The magic those had to my ears is non-existent. Of course that loaner pair probably had over 1000 hours of play. If I had to describe the sound out of mine right now compared to that, it would be soft, delicate, and top-tilited. Very clear, not fuzzy, but just a little blah and somewhat fatiguing. The incredible layering of the music I had with the loaner pair is not there. Very "wall-of-sound" like. No magic at all. They do look great though, wood grooves are symetrical and are a LOT darker than any pair I've seen in pictures (they were made mid-january).
Could burn in time be the problem? Are my bleak impressions based of single-ended connections going to change tomorrow when I go fully balanced? How much longer should I burn in before critical listening? I don't want to give up on this system as I've been dreaming about it forever. I had to just buy it or I wouldnt have stopped thinking about it. I can't help but think I made a mistake. I need some support from you gurus...
