OK, I have FINALLY gotten a chance to get the sb3 up and running. I had been unable to say much of anything, as I was in the process of completely rebuilding the crossovers in the 626r's, and thus have spent the last month and a half perfecting, modifying etc those, so this got pushed to the back burner.
My impressions of the modified, digital only SB3 from Bolder are that I have never been this happy with audio in my life. I say this primarily because it just sounds great. A little on the dark side of neutral, but it is still breaking in so I imagine the caps will open up some. The bass is some of the best I have EVER heard, period. It is extremely authoritative without sounding boomy or bloated, a big pet peeve of my ears. I am currently listening to RWTC from a 2003 show, and quite honestly it is a new recording. Big dominant midrange, great extension, and the bass is to die for. I wil sum this up by saying this is by far the biggest steal in audio today. It is such a pleasure not having to go to the computer to listen to my files. 5 stars, or whatever you want to call it. I will probably never listen the same way again.
