Swapping an Argon8x for a Hydrasynth?
I'm considering returning the Argon8X in favor of a Hydrasynth, but I don't know if I'll be left feeling the same way or not. After playing with a Modal Argon 8X and a Hydrasynth, I went ahead and ordered the Argon. It came a couple of days ago (I was unhappy off the bat because it was clearly B stock, but was sold as new. I've already contacted the vendor about this). I spect a couple of days with the Argon. It's nice. The keyboard feels really nice. The sequencer with 4 animation lanes is pretty cool. But it just feels to be lacking something that I can't put my finger on. The sounds are nice. There's very well crafted patches. I've made a couple of nice patches. The workflow isn't intuitive (and seems to be designed for lefties. If so, congratulations lefties, you deserve equipment tuned to you! But the amount of arm crossing I'm doing is annoying). Overall, it's nice. Not amazing, just nice. I can deal with annoying workflows. But I'm still trying to figure out what's missing. Is it the digital vs analog thing? I have a Bassstation II. I can get some really great sounds out of it. There's a spark there that the Argon, with all of its extra controllability and features, doesn't seem to have. So now I wonder - with the Hydrasynth being digital as well, is it still going to be missing that spark?

Hardware sampler with real time pitchshift
I have seen some demos of the '90s Roland VP9000 (or V-Synth) and love its ability to "real time pitchshift" and manipulate the sample live. These are hard to find now at a reasonable price. I know of an Akai S5000 of a similar vintage for sale but cannot find evidence that the Akai can do what the Roland does. Anybody have experience of these? Can any of the modern-day samplers do this? Im really after a sampler-only unit and not a DAW in a box. Thanks!

Klipsch R-51PM Experiences?
Thoughts? Experiences? They're normally 570 euros, but now less than 400. I've considered them before and I think I might pull the trigger. I have til Sunday to decide and would love to hear thought if someone has them. I've never used Klipsch. I would use them for normal music listening and with my synths+mpc -setup. At the moment I use Creative's Gigaworks T40's with my synths and Edifier 350d's with my computer and Logitech Z5500's with my TV. I'm happy with the Logitechs and Edifiers, but I'd love to upgrade the T40's.
