muznuts Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Hi again, as a follow up to my first thread i have now listened to some speakers and wanted to get an opinion on this putting price aside which speakers would you guys place on top the S2R's as advertised on this site or Atohm GT 1.0's thanks murray
muznuts Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 yeah probably a dumb question to ask does anyone know if and where i could listen to the S2R's
DAMO 1147 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 You have to hear them - the S2R's were not for me when i did. Impecable build Qual though.
Mondegreen Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 indeed, you must hear them. And they must be powered up correctly. the S2Rs are 87db @8ohm, the Atohms are 89db @ 6ohm. they will therefore respond very differently to different amplification. With either of these speakers I'd say some serious wattage and current would be required to feed them - they are small monitors after all. especially the S2Rs as they are the less efficient of the 2. then it's down to what sounds best to the music you want to hear. tricky ain't it? cheers J
blakey72 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah as said you have to listen. I've read great reviews on speakers and listen to them and hated them. Everyones taste is different. Just listen before you buy, always.

DAMO 1147 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 At the price of the S2R's is it possoble to get a chep flight to GC to see Mike for an Audition?
DAMO 1147 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Some sr2 just went up in the classifies at a price you could move them on without fiscal damage if they turned out to not be your cup of tea.
