molan Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I'm looking for an EBS head at the moment but haven't had a chance to A/B the Fafner against the TD650. I'm primarily looking for a clean 'pure' kinda sound so leaning towards the TD (or maybe an HD) as EBS seem to position the Fafner as more of a 'rock' head than the TD Not much between them on price (depending on where you shop) so good to get some independent opinions!

They are more clean, pure, hi-fi than the Fafner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also had an offer of a brand new Fafner at the same price as an HD and £300 less than a TD so that's obviously making it look a little more tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Agreed to buy the Fafner then! Damn exchange rate working against me as the Euro gets ever stronger vs the pound but still a good price with low shipping charge. Should be here in a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
