The active presence boosted up isn't enough for your ear? Honestly? That's aggressively bright and drives me insane.
Your not remembering wrong, I was Mr. power amp blasting out of two 4x12's until Mr. Tinnitus paid me an unwelcome visit. :lol: I thought it was then time reevaluate the volume I play at and the total ridiculousness of using that setup for home playing. So I switched to the Dynaudios over a year ago.
I'm not saying I can't get it bright enough by turning up the Presence, it just doesn't sound the same or as good as it did with 10.01. It just had this nice tight sizzle to it that I really liked that I'm having a hard time duplicating now. It sounds to "glossy" and "smeared" (can't think of any better terms to describe at the moment) when I add more Presence/HF RES now.
Haven't played yet today though and maybe yesterday I was just having one of my "bad ear days" where nothing sounds good, so I'll hit it again and see what I think (though I have a feeling I'll be heading back to 10.01 before the night is over).
P.S. Before anyone thinks I can't hear the high frequencies correctly, I only have very slight Tinnitus in my right ear. The only time I can hear any ringing is when it's absolutely quiet, and sometimes not even then. My hearing is still actually pretty good (for an old fart that is).
