Mine have never sounded that except on some blu ray movies. I can never get the volume where I want it on blu rays as I can CDs.

Recently heard the s3 on the vx-r stereo amp.
It was terrific to say the least. I have heard the mx-r on Sasha's before and felt that the bass was too loose and not well controlled. Turns out that's a wilson problem not ayres. On the s3 they had the big macintosh 1.2 monos running before we switched to the vx-r. but for my brain the ayre blew them in every aspect that matters. The biggest surprise was the bass. Tight, punchy, weighty and growling deep. Nothing like what I heard through the Wilson's. Far from what some recent reviews were saying about ayres bass. And then this, compared to the 1.2kw it had a better sense of rhythm speed and timing, and much better harmonies of tone. A winner. The 1.2 were pushing some 500 watts into the s3 during some daft punk at fun volumes. The vx-r matched the volume at ease.... In other words... I think it's a good match... |
