Went to a bake off this afternoon.
Systems were:
1. Laptop, Hegel 360 amp, ATC 11 speakers (bought new with a discount).
2. Laptop, AVI DM10 (bought new) with £200 subwoofer
3 Denon C630 (£15) or laptop, NVA P50SA (£166), Korneff 45 clone (c£1250), EV Sentry III (£415 + c£80 in repair parts). The NVA and Korneff were replaced by a Creek CAS4040 (£99 new 1983) about half way through the bake off.
For sound quality, system 3 won. System 1 lost.

Re: ATC v AVI v EV bake-off
On the day, everyone present agreed on which was the best and worst sounding system and the main reasons why.
On some tracks it seemed that I thought the differences were more clear cut than what the other people attending thought. But that's fine. When describing degrees of difference we can all have different scales.
I would also like to say that you couldn't hope to meet 2 nicer blokes than the host "andrewjvt" and the AVI owner "lpv".
And I found it a really enjoyable way to pass an afternoon and evening.

There's a parallel universe thread on this bake-off over here: http://www.whathifi.com/forum/hi-fi/so- ... great-bake
And here's a thread on the first bake-off between the AVI and ATC systems http://www.whathifi.com/forum/hi-fi/pas ... active-set
Which has some posts that I found quite funny.

Re: ATC v AVI v EV bake-off
I'd have said the biggest speaker would have won on scale of presentation alone.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...
