Then "ask seller a question" You find this in the upper right side of the page. The seller’s name is David. Tell David you want the MKIV SE. The rest is done thru emails and PayPal. Insurance is optional and costs $9. Make sure you get it. You will not regret it. I listen 10 hrs per day and haven't stopped |

The soundstage, airiness and tube warmth, made for a pleasant and non fatiguing sound, however bass impact in the lower frequencies was lacking, subsequently certain tracks that rely on deep bass lines and driving kick drums, lack the impact that can be found in other amplifiers in this price range. To be more specific, the bass IS there, and it IS plentiful, but kick drums and certain acoustic instruments lack the impact that they should have, and instead sound a bit airy and rubbery." My HD580's already have a pretty weak bass and drop off below about 100hz. I'm probably going to have to umm...upgrade. |
