Just upgraded every component in my secondary system. Schiit Modi 2 DAC, Schiit SYS passive preamp, Rotel RB-971 MK II Amp, "Platine Noiree" speakers.
Last week I picked up some well reviewed Sony (yes Sony) "SS-K90ED" speakers, but they didn't quiet do it for me, then I saw an add for the Earthquake Platine Noiree speakers for $300 on CL, the few reviews I could find were quite positive, and they originally sold for ~$2700/pr.
I just got them home a few hours ago, they have a very smooth presentation, with very laid back vocals. I would say almost too laid back for my tastes, but I need a bit more time with them. Also they recommend a more powerful amp. I am looking for another Rotel RB-971 MKii to either biamp or bridge for more power (70->180wpc).
I am going to test them on the main system, when I get a chance, my main systems Citation amp has much more power.
