After 2 months or so, the sound of the 753 is slowly evolving. The sparkle of the field coil horns now exceeds that of the silverbacks. The bass is still improving but getting there. One concern about the 753 is that there is no way to access the drivers from the front as the grills are fixed permanently. Not that I want to dissect the speakers but if I need to say recone them, I think the only way is from behind.
With the Montrachet driving them, the 753 is like a horse let loose. 30 watts took me to places I have never been before with the silverbacks. Wonder how a cortese will sound ?
