I got a pm from Tal last night regarding my impressions of the DNA2's which he has on order. I apologize for not getting in to deep with them because I just haven't had the system settled enough (and because I'm a terrible writer!) to get more specific. :) Here's my reply:
Hi Tal, I'd be happy to give you my impressions so far on my DNA2's. While I've had them for about 4 months, it's tough to have any finality as my room is very large and my system has been evolving dramatically over the past several months. Since receiving them, I have added a ZROCK2 w/Type II caps and just had 25th mods done, my Torii MKIV went in for an intermittent problem plus 25th anniversary mods (Full) and will be back shortly, hopefully along side my new ZTPRE which is complete and in QC currently. So I running the DNA2"s currently with a Sony HAP1s, a good little unit, but, not,...DecWare! I just got a set of 3" Maple platforms and carpet spike under the DNA2's and for my room a marked improvement. Everything I have done so far just keeps bringing out a better, fuller, deeper, just plain improved DNA2. The imaging, the musicality, the transparency of them keeps getting better and better. Not knowing what your room situation is, but seeing your current gear, I have to think you are serious about getting the most out of your system. If your listening room is somewhat "normal" in size, you are in for a very pleasant experience when you get the DNA's. How long have they been on order? If you haven't explored any room treatments I would definitely encourage you to explore some possibilities there, it is time and money well spent, you just gotta give your equipment the right room for it to do what it is supposed to do. That said I have felt I have a need for a sub, but as time things come together it is becoming more of a want than absolute need. (it's really a toy to amuse myself with during late night listening sessions) In another life back in the late 70's early 80's I had a pair of the original Infinity Servo Statics with the 18" base cube, and you just can't get that type of sub-base out of anything but a sub. That'll come later though. I've found that in my room, as I think in any, speaker placement is critical and I think I've settled in pretty close to where I'll end with that. It's now to the point of a few inches here or there and still having it work with the room. To me, it also has to look right and fit in. I've had an unbelievable amount of help and input from Steve, Bob Ziegler, Dennis Foley, and countless members of the forum who have spent hours and hours replying to my calls and posts for help, priceless, it's quite a place to be involved in which I know you realize based on your current and upcoming system. I'm anxious to hear from you when you receive your speakers, you are in for some real enjoyment there, they will change your system dramatically. Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help. Best, Scott
