In Reply to: What have you compared your L3 (M3) to? posted by Paul Folbrecht on January 29, 2009 at 17:03:53:
Paul,
I run my L3 with the kit monos. I've only had a few preamps, and none for extended comparison as when I make the move I tend to just stay with it. But, I do have 2 years of listening to my L3 and memories of others, so here goes!
Prior, I had a Counterpoint 3.1 that had been modded by altavista, and this is what I moved from to the L3. They are very different. The 3.1 was livelier and tipped up a bit, possibly also having more prominent low end. Clearly, the L3 is more neutral, however, and ultimately more satisfying. But I will say that the 3.1 was exciting sounding.
I owned a Bryston for awhile and never compared it to the L3, as the Counterpoint was so much better sounding. Also have tried (passive) attenuators, but they lacked gonads. Clear and incisive, to be sure, but no drive or flesh in the lower mids down. The Kit1 input stage on it's own has way more boogie than did the same system trimmed with attenuators. I've run my Kit1 both with and without the L3, and like the attenuators, I get more drive with the L3.
What I'd like to hear is the remote L3 and compare to my non-remote--that would be interesting!
Doug
