Precisely…. And most QUALITY red wines, properly made, will throw a fair amount of sediment. You should see what I get on my remaining 1990 and 93 Chateauneuf, or 90, 2005 Bordeaux… Less so on the great Italians (Barbaresco, Brunello); though a good Amarone will throw sediment as well.Ahhhh... yes, optimum cellaring temperatures for red wines are 55-58 F (~13-14 C) but drinking them that cold will mute a majority of the flavors... drink at room temp. Pull them an hour before you drink them, uncork and let them sit quietly on the counter...
...and then we can talk (later) about the Decanting Wars.
The bass is tight and extended. Very controlled over what I thought was pretty well managed bass previously. I do have a subwoofer and found that I needed to dial the gain down on the sub as the main speakers were contributing more on the bottom-end. I even switched off the subwoofer for a session to hear the difference and found that other than the lowest registers (35Hz and below) the speakers were contributing more solid, extended and controlled bass than I'd heard previously. Not getting rid of the sub as it does add a good solid foundation when needed ('Cousin John' by Marcus Miller, 'Flight of the Cosmic Hippo' by Bela Fleck, 'Thanks to You' by Boz Scaggs, etc.). (Sub x-over is set at approx. 38Hz, btw.)
Over-all there's nothing not to like here.
** I suspect Aegir 2 will earn an A rating on TAS like its predecessor.
That has been one of my goto test tracks for years!Things that sounded really great on the big system (a couple of nights ago):

'Tis the way.Horizon, whisky *and* Schiit? Quite the trifecta…
... are they closed-back or open-back? Either way, I hope that they are wireless ...I was going to ask what news there was from NY CanJam and apparently it’s tacos! Yay!
Ok. With my limited audio vocabulary, I'll try...Things that sounded really great on the big system (a couple of nights ago):

Palpable!
Finger plucks were precise. Overtones and undertones on either side of the primary note were distinguishable. Air around the nites and conveyance if the space were wonderful.
I'm running out of ways to describe it other than F'ing amazing and fun! Someone wipe this stupid grin from my face!
