Polk Legend L600 under consideration. - Steve Hoffman Music …
2024年9月11日 · The major differences are the cabinet design and the bottom port design. Otherwise, the same. According to the reviews I've seen, those major difference do make a difference in SQ.

Retip a Denon DL-103R or buy another one?
2018年3月14日 · The DL103R stock was better than the DL160 and DL110. I preferred the stock DL301Mk2 over the stock DL103r because I felt it had a little better dynamics.

To SUT or not to SUT with a Denon DL-103? - Steve Hoffman …
2018年1月30日 · dmckean said: ↑. You can get a pair of Cinemag 3440A transformers, which are great, for $52 each plus shipping directly from Cinemag. SUTs are by far the easiest way to get great sound from the Denon 103. I've had one of Bob's Devices original $395 3440A (red) SUT for about 10 years and it's fantastic with my 103R.
