Alpinist (Ken) - how is your new system?

Hi Paul,

They are taking a little longer to be completed than expected. That's fine with me because I'm still working on selling my D-3, V2. They are supposed to ship pretty soon and will take 5 days to get across the country to my dealer. He will then come out to my place and set them up and equalize them to my room. Shouldn't be too much longer.

Best,
Ken
 
Well its a good thing smooth FR wasn't traded for time domain optimization which we all know is a flawed approach to design given the preference for the latter in double blind testing.

Sorry Ken, I couldn't help myself.............:happy:

You are going to love these speakers. Must same I am jealous.:blush:

Thanks Paul! I can't wait until they are set up in my listening room. I believe the adjustability of these speakers will bring me to a higher level of sound quality than I've ever experienced in my room. Nothing to be jealous about though, the D-3.1 with a pair of high-end adjustable subwoofers can get you to the same place. And your customized listening room can bring you to an even higher level, of which I am envious. ;)

The one thing that the measurements just don't convey is how the Vandy 7's, compared to other high-end speakers I've auditioned, strip away additional layers of coloration, distortion and noise, and produce a purity of timbre the likes of which I've never heard before. The vocals and instruments just sound more like live performers than anything I've ever experienced. When I audition them, I totally lose myself in the performance and time becomes irrelevant. Quite an experience and hard to quantify or explain.

Best,
Ken

Try putting the boxes 8 inches apart and then one ear on each box til he shows up....it might help the time pass.

Excited for you Ken!!!
