Hi Skylogic,

In the quested s8 vs adam p11 thread, you gave a little explanation of the difference between the s series and the sr's.

Am I right to conclude that the s8's are the straight ones and the s8r's the ones with the rounded corners?

I've got a pair of straight ones at home right now for testing, and they're quite frankly amazing, but if I were to order questeds, they'd most likely send me newer s8r's.
I once heard that the newer ones were merely a cosmetic update, but seeing as the newer ones have their bass ports on a completely different place than before, shouldn't that affect the sound quite substantially? I mean, the design of the old ones with the ports between the drivers was the design quested himself had been "perfecting over the last 20 years"..

Any thoughts? Or links on where I can read more about the "improvements" they made on the sr series?

Kind regards.

Nicolas

PS: Adam S2A gave the S8's a run for their money, but imaging isn't as precise and deep!

PPS: I'm going to post this in the thread too for other people to comment! Many thanks!

PPPS: Anyone care to elaborate on the sonic differences between the S8(R)'s and the VS2108's?
