Was it wasted $$$?

No. DEVA was wasted money. This is pretty good for $129. Good entry level item for folks new to planar.
My Sundara which has no sub-bassā€¦falls behind these because of that.

No sub bass = No :two_hearts:

No prob.
Saw other comment in other thread about DD v.s. BA for metal.
Itā€™s almost a joke that it is a discussion. You like a good bassline or you like everything else.
BA at itā€™s FUCKING BESTā€¦is trying to imitate a good DD and when it almost does folks sayā€¦
ā€œItā€™s like a DDā€<<<<<< They say that for a reason.
I donā€™t think a lot of reviewers listen to music all that much.

Agreed, I havent heard any BA that surpasses DD bass. At best they might be around a good DD, but not even close to the top tier DDs.

There is no substitute :+1:
If I want to listen to lows being done to reference, thatā€™s a DD. Also why folks always say " it sounds like a DD" and they mean that in high praise. Lots of good BA sets butā€¦lets not get crazy and say a BA set playing Metal or rock or anything with authoritive low end is as good asā€¦
U12t is a monitor set IMO for that exact reason

Shouldnā€™t a monitor set give a sense of realism?..mixing Bonzo without a DD would be like a baby playing with itā€™s audio food :grin:

I completely agree. Why have a set that sort-of sounds-like a DD when you can just buy sets with an actual DD.

I sold mine as well because of this. I donā€™t think a set should be praised because it is a better imitator than all the rest of the imitators.

Hey Chris have you had a chance to listen to the Oriolus Trailliiā€¦would be fun a Susvara Vā€™s the Birdā€¦$12k :musical_score: off :+1:

I am working on that now. Probably during June Iā€™ll have the Bird ODIN and UM Mason Fusang together.
6 months with no graph of the bird is long enough.
