Про серию SSX -
-
When we were told of the new speakers all that was said was that they are being
developed with the help from a TOP British speaker manufacturer.
I think the 3 possibilities are B&W,Kef and Wharfdale

I have heard your speakers N 804 on several ocations, and i can say right now that i think they are great Music-reproducers. Neutral tonal balanse, bass a litlebit slim, but very articulate, firm and with lots of "groove". mids and highs are extremely good, I think, with depht, detail and precise imaging. I see the 804 as a litlebit on the bright side when it comes to tonality, however not colored in any way.
The SS-X90 has a litlebit darker basic tone, very neutral and calm in its presentation. Your ears will never get tired of these speakers. The mids and highs are also here exeptionally good, but maybee a litle more shy then the 804 in the upper midrange, tweeter is equally good- both are very "fine masked". When it comes to bass respons i find the SSX a litle more powerful in the midbass, but i think the 804's are slightly more defined in passages with lots of fastshifting bass-lanes. None of them goes in the cellar, but reaches down to about 40HZ with decent aplomb.
Personally I wouldn't advice you to throw out the 804's in favour of the SSX90, but if you did, they wouldn't have dissapointed you, but i don't consider them to be a uppgrade from N804, wich are exellent speakers. Here in Norway they cost twice as much as the SS-X90. Try to get a pair into your livingroom and let your own ears consider them.
-I revisited the shops, listening to a set of B&Ws (600's) as well as the Paradigms and Sonys. I listedn in ascending order of what I already perceived to be quality, first the Paradigms, then the SSK's and then the SSX's (I found a 1 year old demo set) all using the same songs.
In actual listening, the SSK's were a very large step up from the Paradigm 7/cc370/Mini combination. The SSX's were step up from the SSK's, but not as large a setp as going from the Paradigms 7's to the SSK's.
I will get a set of sonys, which one depends on price.
Thanks everybody for all the info on posted on this thread

Вот кстати что пишут по поводу немецкой прессы -
The SS-X 90 is a much better speaker than for example 604 S3. More focused, tighter bass, bigger perspective with clearer mids and highs. It is more natural to compare with the B&W 700-series. The German Magazine "Audio" classifies SS-X90ED as "spitzenklasse" and 604 only as "oberklasse"-big difference.
Плохая новость только в том, что серию SSX уже снимают с производства и заменяют несколько более упрощенной серией SSK, по крайней мере об этом я тоже читал. Но это уже типичные грехи такой громадной корпорации как Сони. Вложить кучу денег и труда, пригласить высококлассных специалистов со стороны - опять-таки пишут, что для работы над проектом акустики SSX Сони специально переманила главного разработчика из Polk Audio. Наконец получить продукт высокого класса и тут же свернуть его производство, увидев что не получен требуемый экономический эффект, а себестоимость оказалась слишком высока. Это я уже за Сони наблюдаю не в первый раз.
Теперь про "ламповый" звук цифровых усилителей -
Other than that the DA 2000ES is a great Receiver with a sound that has been compared favorably with the $1,5000 DA 5000ES. These new Sony Digital Receivers aren't merely the latetest and greatest technological inovation in that they have a wonderfuly smooth and detailed presentation which harkens back to a quality and richness of sound that is very reminicent of Vacuum Tube amplification.
Just as traditionaly some people prefer either Solid State or Vacuum Tube amplification, so some now prefer either Solid State or Digital amplification. Neither one is inherently bad, its just that we all have different tastes in how we want the sound of our Movies and Music to be presented.
Европейский аналог DA2000ES - DB2000.

The 2000ES and above all use the new "digital amplification" technology. Most people love the sound of the digital units, and say its very reminiscent of tube amplifers; however a few have also hated it.
Однако, я напротив благодарен инерционности наших пользователей
