Hey guys .. after reading as much as I can about the ZROCK2 I was hoping to get some opinions/comments. First and foremost, I’m very happy with my system and don’t need to change a thing. That being said, I can’t help thinking the ZR2 might be a very nice addition to my loudspeaker system.
When Schiit released their Loki Mini EQ/tone control I ordered one for my headphone system (Asgard 2, Bifrost MB, Audio-Technica ATH-R70x). I wasn’t disappointed .. great price, easy to use, and transparent when bypassed .. terrific addition to my budget-friendly set-up. Point being, I like having a hardware-based EQ solution and understand what it can bring to the table. I’m in.
As you can see in my signature my system is pretty simple:
Node 2 (analog-out) to the ICBM-1 crossover, out to both subs and the amp, SE84UFO out to Super 3i’s. I’ve found over time I like the subs crossed at 60 Hz allowing the Super 3i’s (55 Hz - 20 kHz) to do their single-driver thing almost entirely with the subs adding some foundation. I’m not even remotely a bass head thus the subs volume is turned down providing a nice balance to my ears and taste. Nothing boomy. Sounds great for the most part.
However, I also love the Super 3i’s running full spectrum sans subwoofers. They are, of course, a bit bass shy. Subwoofers, as we all know, bring their own set of issues and, frankly, I wouldn’t mind not having to deal with them at all, hence the interest in the ZROCK2. Removing the subs also means I can remove the ICBM-1 as well. I like simple.
So, am I crazy to think the addition of a ZROCK2 may bring enough to the mix allowing me to eliminate the subs and crossover? Yes, I could just order one and see for myself but, I’d appreciate any comments and/or advice you’d care to share. Thanks.
