Hi
I have 4 days with this combo. They were new out of the box. The higs are reported to be tipped up which I so far do not find. The mid range is a bit recessed/"gray". By comparison the AKG K1000 had more mid range presence/vividness/wow. I even experienced more midrange presence with the Senheisser HD 650/600 RS HR-2. Also, things are still a slightly bit fuzzy.
These are the negatives. The positives are amazing PRAT, nuance and mcuch better overall musical communication. Vocals have a texture and naturalness that I have not yet experienced from any dynamic setup.
Very comfortable.
Sonic textures are very realistic in terms of density. Bass is very tight/informative and fast for what there is.
Will the mid-range suck out improve over time? Will the Omega II correect the deficiencies?
I have very good quality source (Ayre CDP and Rega P9 TT with Benz Ruby and Ayre phono stage. IC's are Cardas GR with Sunyata power cords.
I am hoping things will improve. I am not a tube guy.
Hope to hear from those experienced with Stax.
Thanks,
Jay
