Hi All,

I am planning to get a 260 or 4800 for my Martin audio W8C/W8LC/WSX system

Any advise on use with it? or anyone with a similar setup?

    I saw you had posted on the PSW, looking for a controller for your Martin audio system...Asking about XTA BSS and DBX...The 260 isn't in the same class as the 4800, XTA and BSS units...They are all good, having NOT had a chance to A/B them side by side I might suggest that for the money you will spend on any of the top choices I would get a demo.. hopefully a side by side.. by side one...You left out the Lake Dolby processor... I don't think you will find the answers her, or on the PSW .. I would expect the only real way to tell is to do a blind test and see which system sounds better.. or is it a feature thing your wondering about, because the Driverack would seem to offer more bang for the buck...

    Hey thanks for the advise,
    but here is a little diffcult in getting a demo.. unless you tell them you want 10 units then will get their attention.
    in another words.. know what you want to get.
    wish we had more friendly reps

    Cheers!!

    There have been some DSP reviews as I recall.. I think they MAY have even done a shootout @ the PSW... But hey.. it's all subjective right? one mans nirvana is another's crap...For instance, the XTA is generally considered warm and smooth, where the DBX 4800 is modeled to be as close to a strait wire processor as possible... that to me means as we, the older generation of warm analog freaks fade slowly into the morass...the digital generation want more \"truth in listening\" and the warm analog thing will be look at as a thing of the past...

    Just my two cents worth...

    I think it was either Live sound international, or jeez I think it was... check their online magazine..maybe not...

    Nothings wrong with \"the older generation\". Gadget
    It was much simpler back then.

    I still remember Vinyl records. 78, 45, 33 and a 1/3 (RPM)

    The good old days!!!

    They were the days when the only control you had of your record player was how fast you turned the handle to crack it up.

    The good old days!!!

    When you judged how good your sound system was by the number of valves it had.

    The good old days!!!

    Having “electric light� meant you could buy a new machine call Television (black and white of course)

    The good old days!!!
