What am I missing in the photos? I really don't see much of the difference in the aesthetics of the older model vs. the updated.
Maybe this will help. I attached a pic from a get together we had late last year.
From left to right:
- Noesis 2AX on top of an Orbit Shifter
- Noesis 3TX on top of an Orbit Shifter
- T12-X on top of an amp rack
The N3TX is 40 ish pounds.
The T12-X is 74 pounds and is almost identical in size to a EV QRX212
The size difference is more apparent in person than it is in the pic.
The output of the N3TX is impressive, regardless of size.
Factor in size and the impressiveness factor goes up another tier.
