Bargain or not? To me this seems a bargain. They are brand new also.
I was all setup to by the atrio`s but after more research would these be better? Great reviews but so do the atrios. (thanks all who responded to my atrio thread)

 

[mark2410]

sounds like a bargain to me

never heard them but they meant to have a super flat sound sig, should be quite a difference from you c751's

 

[MusicalChillies]

Thanks for the quick reply!
Would that be a better sound than my Denon`s or just completely different?
Denon`s shrill to much hense was going to get atrios (or something that just sounded easy going but with deffinition)

p.s the klipsch x10`s also caught my eye

 

[mark2410]

well define "better"

given ive not heard the 420 there is a limited amount i can say about them, just relaying what i have read. 420 id think will give better clarity, lots better vocals abut will sound much flatter. as in it will be very balanced and feel not very exciting, but this is just going by what others have said.

how about you tell me what kind of thing you want and i can maybe point you in the direction you want to be going?

btw IE7 could be worth you looking at

Hi Mark, didn`t think you were going to reply again!

I have gone ahead and ordered the X10`s after all (30 mins ago) due to pretty rave reviews on websites and comments on here.
Got them for £119 which seemed a good price as they are still around the £170 mark on websites.
Better than the Denon`s "it seems" so that is what I want afterall.
The Shures do not seem to get alot of praise on here or review sites, the 530`s do but not really the 420`s.

Better....
Better mids I suppose, I felt sometimes, late at night listening to the Denon`s it was as if the music was going away from me if you know what I mean? To far in front? The bass fantastic, the rest of the track going awol.
The main reason, the harshness on the high end, sibilance has started to annoy me to the point of wanting to stop listening rather than stopping when I want to.

I`m pretty eclectic, classical to trance. No country and no metal though.

Thanks for replying.

 

[mark2410]

never heard the x10, its never appealed but im sure it will do you well

yeah the 420 tends to get ignored, most people if they spending enough to buy it go "feck it" and pay the extra for the 530.

 

[heliuscc]

where are you getting them that cheap?

 

[MusicalChillies]

Hope so, I will be deflated if they are not "what I want to hear".
Not soo much the money point just the what the hell do I try next.
Will let you know what I think when I get them Mark. (everything crossed smiley)

Interesting....I thought last year Headroom really rated them - a kind of hidden jewel in Shure's lineup? I may be wrong, will check... Given that
I've never been too fond of SE530, I was always tempted by the 420 after reading Headroom's review. May have to look at them again

(Edit\ Darn, looks like that £110 Ebay deal is gone -no sign in yr link, but thanks anyway!)

 

[mark2410]

ive wanted to hear them for ages too, thing is they not likely to give me something very different from other things i have and they too expensive to but on a "im curious" throw away buy. actually i think amp3 have a demo set, should really go have a listen one day but hard to judge something if you only hear it for 10 min.

 

[steviebee]

Ah, Mark - curiousity got the cream!

ps Think you could pop into amp3 for me & find out WTH has happened to my IE8's?

Sinth,

Please do come back and tell us how you get on with them. I currently have some c-751's and the x10's look nice upgrade. Would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on how they compare.

Adam

 

[mark2410]

you ordered a pair from them?

why????? isnt play rather cheaper and amp3 just aimed at those in countrys play wont send anything to?

btw just email them, ive always found them to be quite responsive in the replys but then i do make a point of using the uni email account so they know im not far away

 

[steviebee]

Long story which I won't bore you with, but I don't use debit or credit cards. Kinda limits my online buying, & rules out any US sites unfortunately (apart obviously from Paypal). With amp3 I can use bank transfer (I love bank transfer). Never used play -is it UK? Bank transfer option?

Oh, & update from amp3: IE8 out of stock til the weekend. And x2 on their responsiveness. Good guys, IME.
