Ever since i brought my Dali rubicon 8s i have felt underwhelmed by them and keep thinking my old Dali Opticon 8s just sounded a lot better on the bass department .
The treble on the Rubicons are very good and open but i think the bass is to deep or just doesn't come across the same way the opticons did and you would think the rubicon 8s would be a lot better speaker giving there price tag as the Opticon 8s are a cheaper speaker .
the only difference between the rubicon & Opticons are the Opticons have a larger bass drivers and the cabinets are bigger plus they are a 3 way design and the rubbicons are a 2 and half something design .
And the frequencies are a little different
The only changes i made from changing from my old speakers are the Gaia 3 feet for the Rubicon and i am using the ADI-2 DAC and i have moved the rubbicon so Meany times to get that sound i had with the opticon 8s but just can not get that magic back i lost so now regret upgrading to the rubicons that i have had for the last 2 years .
So thinking of selling the rubicon 8s and going back to the Opticon 8s again but the trouble is now they are called the opticon 8 mk2s so do not want to make a mistake again changing .
Or i thought of taking out the 2 things that are diffrent in the chain which are the gaia feet and putting the spikes on and taking out the DAC to see what this does .
