I've had a lot of speakers go thru my hands. Mostly vintage that I restored and upgraded the xovers. East coast, west coast, 2 ways up to 5 ways, planar, omni, etc. I have a full Vandersteen surround sound system too. I also have a pair of Seas Odins I built that have always been my favorite. Depending on the day. I drive the Odins with various SS or tube gear. Pioneer 1250\1980 or Bogen\Scott\Fisher tube. All restored The clarity of those speakers and punch for a 7" driver always made me smile.
These are the first full range speakers I've ever had and the only speakers I've been able to drive with my Taboo other than small desktop speakers. The Taboo has always been my office headphone system.
I'm sure the Taboo has a lot to do with it and although they don't play to the level my other systems do they are certainly loud enough to get my wife to come downstairs and tell me to turn it down. But the soundstage and detail are amazing. They could use more bass for my taste (not that they don't have tight bass) but I attributed that to the Taboo. So I hooked up a Marantz 2270 and had bass in spades. But the magic of the Taboo is undeniable so I keep going back to it.
The amp I covet is the ZMA because I wanted more watts to drive my inefficient Odins, but maybe I need to rethink wattage or maybe not. I love the look of the ZMA!
