A visit with Stereo in Toronto

Yup, if you listen to the Summit for extended periods of time, the bass impact and depth will floor you as compared to the reQuests.

You're absolutely right about the bass impact. But then again I find the
midrange on the Request is among the best there is, with limited time
spent with Summit, I find the mid range is still better on my Request.
I spent a lot of time tweaking them, changed some capacitors &
resistors, pulled them 5' away from the wall & 3' from the side wall.

As well, I have a pair of 60 inch dipole ribbon tweeters paired with my Request, they rated at 40Khz @4db. ( will post my system shortly ) The resulting high is quite amazing. I owned both Sequel & Request, both of
them I find have a bit of hi-frequency rolled off. I am sure lots of people
welcome it as being smooth sounding but I like a bit of brightness.
As for the bass I might try to put a piece of very heavy metal on top of the bass cabinet and hope it can make the bass tighter. That's part of the fun of being a music lover.
