I got some bone stock original B&W DM4 that sound quite good. Im not 100% about the xover yet.
And well, I've been up throwing all the music at them I can find. After playing around with placement I followed advice in a read that says, placing nearer the wall reinforces bass response. This is true, minus the "boom". To be honest, I expected some boom. They remind me of my Harbeth HM ll, only better. These have a sweeter mid range. Thats a lot to be said, I love the silky mid range of those others.
Being that they were made in 1972 leads me to wonder about caps. I'm in no real rush to hop aboard that bus, and they sound fantastic. Would it be worth having them gone over?
What is more of a concern is wich styles of amplifiers blend well with the DM4?
I have a couple in mind, like a small Sugden or Exposure. Then theres a pure musical fidelity class A. It would take a bit to sway me away from British brands. But, perhaps.
Plan A is to build an analog set up, with a Rega l or ll. Something with phono built in could be nice.
I can see about uploading a couple pictures later tomorrow for site reference purposes.
