[QUOTE=mobius.media;4351366]Really? That's pretty discouraging. Personally, I'm not eager for the Big Ben sound - I find it has exaggeration in the lows I'm not really looking for. I wanted something more neutral but didn't want to pay big for an Isochrone, so I thought the Lucid was it.

Any other thoughts?

My experience with the unit is what sent me after the BB. Like I said, it just seemed to take away from the stereo image and made things sound like there was less top AND bottom. That said I do find that the BB does enhance the lows but in a way that to me at least is very flattering and complementary to my work. I think that the Antelope Isochrone OCX is in the same price range as the BB and even tho I've never used it everything I've read and heard about it suggests that it's a fantastic unit (and very neutral in character). I personally would LOVE the 10-M but that falls squrely in the silly money territory. Oh well someday....
