Well, I went to Vinnies for the evening last night to have a look / listen to the radial 3.0`s
Nice looking and sounding speaker.
Tried them with the Decware zen first. Sounded very nice at low volumes very clean, sounded a bit Hi Fi. But none the less very listenable, good image and soundstage. Became very shouty at louder volumes though, and I felt Vinnies Zen was starting to clip however no one else mentioned that fact, but I definately detected distortion at higher volumes.
We then tried them on the end of a pair of original Quad 2`s.
They definately came to life a bit more with the extra wattage available, however to my ears the sound became a little mushy and soft, Probably the Quads causing that.
On both occasions the amp was used with a Ming Da Pre amp.
I suggested to Vinnie that we reconvene shortly and I will bring my pair of selects and csp down to try. I do believe that with approximately 6 watts rather than Vinnies 1.8 Watts the speakers will really sing.
I will report back once we have tied the Selects
As an aside and in answer to Iffy`s original question, we also tried the radials on the end of a T amp. It has to be said that they sounded very good, A bit bright, but very exceptable.
