A couple of my favorites are: Christopher Lawerence : Rise->Phreaks, Christopher Lawerence : Trilogy Part 1-> Rhythm of life (love the TB-303 synth), also a few tracks on Donald Glaude: Mixed Live -> Planar and Under Pressure. Its kind of funny when I audition equipment at stores and ask them to play some techno tracks |

I auditioned the Sopra 3s and B&W 802 D3s today. I first heard the Sopras hooked up to all Mark Levinson gear. They sounded very nice, but I immediately realized that they were not warm enough for my taste. I much preferred the B&Ws, which were driven by McIntosh equipment. They did not have any Scalas to listen to. I ended up ordering the 802 D3s.

I always found b&w diamond tweeter to be bright and biting with female voices. That wasn't the case for you?

Thanks for the heads up. Admittedly I did not play any female vocals at the audition. Female vocals probably occupy a small percentage of my listening, yet I hope this isn't the case when I get them home. I was listening hard for any brightness and heard none in the content I listened to . There is a very fair 30 day satisfaction guarantee from my dealer and I really hate bright sounds, so I'll be alert for this. Maybe the Mac equipment mellows it ?
