Reality always bites

recent relocation to boston puts bigger and more expensive speakers out of question

thus here I am with a new pair of 804S-a significant improvement from the 703's though

Maatt,
hmmm..... I thought the bass control of the A5 was descent.. (I know it's not the top notch...)

Give it some time... I let mine break'n for a while too- though-my entire system was brandnew then so I wouldn't know which one was the most *harsh* in the the chain...but my system did sound better after a month or so..

anyhoo
good luck with you, too :-)

Soundright,
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the 703s as much (or more?!) as I do :)

System edited: system edited, added signal cable and PS audio components For those who hate 703s, give them at least a month to break in I had a difficult time convincing myself from returning them for first couple of weeks One day, they just opened up. the "bright" highs became much more sweeter and the lows become a lot more extended BTW, I heard 803Ds this week. I'm going for it by the end of the year. These guys are in a totally different league... other than the price, of course

Thanks all for your input

Distortion,
I think you are absolutely right about the interconnects, at lest on the part that using the cheap ones would be a shame...
my generic cheapos makes the system hum....

I just received them yesterday.
and WOW they sound really good
it sounds a little bright and revealing as others have pointed out and I think my cheap interconnects are somewhat very responsible and I'll see how it changes as they all go through the break-in period

I changed the cheapest interconnects with slightly less cheapo one and it's already better.. ha ... ;-)

I'll try the signalcable
thanks
I'll update pics when I finish cleaning up the boxes
happy holidays ~!
