Interesting. You say 600 Series, does that include the 600?Thanks for the update. Certainly, there's no doubt that comparison of the NDH 30 with the 800 series is much more appropriate than comparison with the 600 series. The NDH 30 and the 800 series are in the same class. The 600 series is not. When and if I try the S2 and I find it to be in the same class as the 800 series and NDH 30 and in a different class to the rest of the 600 series, I will retract my words.
If so, did you have the 600 on the same equipment as the NDH 30? Overall anytime on an OTL amp? While nothing can get the 600 to soundstage like the others - in terms of timbre from 100 Hz - up on the BHCs, no EQ, I found it better than an early 800S, in particular with solo piano. The 800S was actually wanky tinbre wise, not in any other way. Haven't heard the S2, not long enough with the NDH 30.
The 650 isn't as good as the 600 either in this regard.
