Murphyslaw,
You are right, the T 2s never disappoint, but sometimes they do let the music or the recording disappoint itself.
Feed them the best source, the best signal you can and they will shine for you!!!!
And Eric, you are right, sometimes the room can let down the music, make the music played through the T 2s less than flat.
I have DIRAC in my XMC-1 to correct the sound in the room, so you are on the right track!!!!
Rock on boys, happy listening,
God Bless,
Wayne
