I'm quite familiar with Vidar+LS50 combo. That's a really nice setup! I'd love to learn your impressions after you take the gear home and have your way with them.

Oh awesome! How did you like it? I was torn between the Vidar and the Emotiva XPA-2 Gen3. I decided to go with the Vidar because I'm using the LS50s on my desk and the XPA-2 was physically too big.

Personally I think you made a wise sonic decision alone. The LS50 are definitely revealing enough to really benefit from the smoother A/B design in the Schiit over the switching/H setup in the Emotiva.

The theoretical debate is if you sacrifice a tiny bit of smoothness for the extra power the Emotiva would deliver over the Schiit. In a desktop/near field setup I wouldn't think the trade off would be worth it. I guess it depends on user expectations, but this is a guy buying a nice DAC too so...

Plus the Schiit is prettier, more compact, Made in USA, and maybe even less expensive?

I really like them. They hug you so much better in turn, and you can feel the almost 100lbs of weight saving haha. Only 25lbs each, OEM and 74.

Phew. I'm glad I went with the Schiit. Now I'm really excited to get my hands on it.

I also ordered a MiniDSP with the microphone last night to get some REW action going on as well as a way to add a sub.

Thinking of doing the same thing for my driveway but a curve truss. My driveway is located in an alley so will not be an eye soar.

Somehow my recurring order of filters went through this month, and some t-track for a few projects.

Have you seen those new Murphy Ladders? I guess they are a new concept as I just seen an ad on TV the other day. Looks pretty neat as far as the footprint goes.

I accidentally bought a custom Seiko off ebay yesterday. I put in a crazy low bid and won it.
