You bet Dave!!! We are going to have some fun with this thing. I loved those Mad Dogs for the money. I am thinking of getting a pair. It looks like I am only a few weeks out now from lucid mode!

Just received a nice parcel

. Thought I'd got away with it, but I had to pay an extra £275 for him to leave it with me. Ouch lol

Yikes!!!! In Texas, we would probably revolt.

Oh Crap!!!! Parts Pulled!!!! I need to get serious.

 Check out the Decware site for the power rating on the MK 111 for some reason I could paste them here

 

[Frank I]

For some reason the chart for the power rating are not coming up. The amp is putting put 1.7W into 50 Ohms and there is detailed measurements for the wattage but its plent powerful for sure. 1.6W into 32 ohms and 1.7 into 50,300,600 ohms/ . The charts are available on the Decware site.

I have experience with the DM945s, but with the SE34i.3.  Great value in a speaker in my opinion.  They image very well and go low enough for me, but I have heard others run them with a sub.  My sub is cheap so I run without and don't miss it all that much.  Nice defined bass.  I also like the sound of the ribbon tweeter.   I use them in a relatively small room and get more than adequate volume with the 6 watts the SE34 puts out.
 
Another Decware speaker offering (actually made by Turning Point Audio and distributed by Decware) is the Trapezium desktop speaker.  I have not personally heard them, but they are supposed to mate well with Decware amps and put out a good amount of volume (and bass) in a nearfield setup.

DaciT ordered! It has the same Sabre 9023 chip as Nick's Resonnessence Concero that I was able to enjoy at the Dallas mMeet. It also has a optical input which is what I was needing. Hopefully, It will be a good pairing with the MKIII.

It's Happy Crap!  I'm next in line.  

 
Production at Decware was languishing a bit for a month until the week of 18-Mar and then stuff's been flying out the door since.

Ahh Frank, I hate to admit that I am still undeclared. I will play with it with my *cough* beats *cough* until the decision on the next step is made. It is quite sad, but like many on here, the failures of the mainline products push you into this hobby. I am still struggling with which cans to buy as I will not probably be able to get both for some time, as I want to get the Pendragons on order soon. I will probably have to choose between the LCD2 and the Senny800.

If all else fails, I can just lend you my HD650's while you get settled with all of it.  They're not really getting any use.

Thanks Dave! I may have to take you up on that offer.

Back on subject, I was noticing in the new owner's manual that the output goes down when using Lucid Mode 2 with speakers? Does it effect the output when you are using Headphones from the 1.7 watts?

 

[Landmantx]

Here is the quote from the owner's manual.

Since the original lucid mode was designed for speakers, there are no issues using it with speakers. New Lucid mode, however, was designed for 50 ohm planar headphones as a super imaging enhancement, and while it can be used with speakers, the maximum power of the amplifier into speakers is reduced when New Lucid mode is engaged. Basically if you’re planning on using New Lucid mode with speakers you’ll have to restrict yourself to modest volume levels. Turning New Lucid mode OFF restores full power to the loudspeakers.
