Description

Its so hard in this mad rush world to wind down and take the time to enjoy music. When I do I am always pleased for the time I spend listening. What I enjoy most is to just close my eyes and hear the musical details of the guitar, piano, violin, bass female vocalist, etc. Of course, there are the fun albums who may not have the best recordings and you just forget about being "critical" and just sit back tap your feet or even sing along.

In terms of system setup, I've moved to separates to hopefully get the best of my music.

The tweaks and power cables are an irresistable must (can't help myself)

Dtanclim-my system is on Audiogon-it's Ayre Acoustics AX-7 & CX-7.
I would tend to suspect that your analysis is correct and the D15's would beat my speakers.
However the actual list price of the 150's in their day was only £150/200 less than what the D15's are now so rightly or wrongly I suspect the improvement might not be massive.

Dtanclim-thanks for the info there is a pair on sale local to me.....perhaps I may be tempted and end up single again :-(....have you heard them against the studio series by Proac?
These are what I have Studio 150's....
Regards.

Dtanclim how do you rate the Proac D15's?
