Hey Guys, attempting my first review on this forum..attemting it since what i auditioned literally blew me to bits.
I was there to collect my serviced RS 100/250; and boy what an amazing job did they do with it. it sounds just marvellous now. i guess when we live with a system for long, we dont realize if it's loosing that edge. highs are now rounded off, and i can listen to it for longer hours.
Over to what moved me to bits. i finally, like finally have come ot understand what imaging and soundstage is all about. i was earlier confusing these terms with "stereo" effect (RS 100 does stereo pretty decent)
CDP was a decent SONY player -> my RS 100 -> RS 250 OR RS (stupid me but i dont recollect model no., will update it tomorrow) -> Newer pulz speakers (it's made for stereo, it has front port and rounded design like the Usher BE 718 minus the angle).
CD's: Pat Metheny's The way Up, Oscar Peterson Live at Montreux & Dream Theater Awake
First up was my setup...coz i obviously wanted to check the work done; decent job, i was happy. played PM's the way up, perfect. sound was drier than prior servicing, highs rolled off. perfect stereo effect.
Plugged in newer amplifer in same setup minus my amplifier...played the same song....im familiar with this album for quite sometime now...it just blew me away coz, the first solo, which in my setup came directly from the speaker now came from four feet to the left of the speaker! and that too from a specific point above ear level. it was as if everything around it was silent and i could just hear the keyboards towards 2 feet right of the right speaker and such....i was mesmerized, the kind of system which would make you close your eyes and enjoy the mix.
Oscar peterson sat right across me, notes swirled up like waves and crecendos just destroyed everything i heard before.
im sure all of you guys have experienced this and much better but for someone new like me in this forum and on a mid segment budget...give this one a try...i really think it's something special. i think this amplifier and speakers are somethign special. im told the drivers are from BMS (Italy)
they havent freezed on the price for both as yet...however ashok felt both would be around 30k each (speakers 30k and amp 30k)...but again, please dotn quote me on that, they are yet to decide.

i dont know his exact role over there...but seemed like an old employee. i also had a good chat with Mr. Ramakrishnan. very down to earth fellow, took the time to demonstrate their newer creations... (btw, they have a HT line too coming up., massive tower speakers and such)
