Heard the Dali Lektor 1, Lektor 6 @ SKS:somewhat impressed.
Hi,
I visited SKS on Sunday and heard the Lektor 1 and Lektor 6.
Lektor 1 impressions:
Nice midrange... lacking scale and bass depth... fairly small soundstage.
Treble seemed a bit unrefined compared to the Diamond 9.1 and AKG K701 phones.
Lektor 6 impressions:
Scale of presentation large, but not excessively so...
Bass tight, but my K701 goes lower.
Bass quantity greater than my AKG.
Nice midrange... full, lush... but lacking the outright resolution and transparency of the AKG.
Treble very similar to Lektor 1... same tweeter?
I also brought by K701 and headphone amp along and tested the Creek Evolution CDP... which to my ears sounded a bit more musical than my 640C.
I had gone to hear the higher-end Dalis... which, unfortunately, SKS did not have on display.
Sadly, the Diamond 9.1 is no longer on sale anymore(though I never intended to buy one...

)
The Diamond 10.1 is selling like hot cakes now... but that rear port makes the bass muddy in small rooms and near rear walls.
