Re: FWIW KEF105 vs B&W801 vs NS1000's

Gary,

I can well imagine that a softer sounding tweeter would be very nice in the NS-1000. Was that a drop in replacement?

A friend of mine has early 801's and while decent sounding, I was not that impressed, and particularly not for the $$$ he spent.

I've gone back and forth between the JBL L-110's I have (woofers replaced with Advent Legacy woofers and cabinets filled and sealed) and my modded Advents. I'd venture a guess that the Dahlquist 907 Vs Advents would be a similar situation. The L-110's have a rather sophisticated crossover with a 5" mid and 1" soft dome tweeter. The Advents are actually more accurate, the JBL's more engaging and lively.
