Bozak Concert Grands vs. Wharfedale W90's

Thanks.

I think if I was going to hunt down a pair of vintage Bozaks (and I will), I would probably go fo the Synphonies or perhaps even something smaller. I could never fit a pair of Concert Grands into my current place (I don't think I could fit the Symphonies right now either, but if the price was right enough, I'd make room one way or another).

Who knows? You may end up a happier person with one of the smaller Bozak models than you would if you got the CG's.

One thing about the 2nd and 3rd harmonics of low bass notes. At 40Hz my Symphonies sound fine, but because they don't kick you with distorted 80 and 120Hz junk most people are used to that never was in the original source, they can think it's weak in the bass. Same with my NS-1000M's, even less distortion in the bass. No bloat, all music.

But you need an amp with enough current to push low notes with authority...not usually cheap.

The Audiophile review of the Velodyne ULD-18 servo sub talks about this impression too. (there we're talking 17Hz at +-3dB, only VMPS or IRS-V goes there? )
