I will pick the bronze - so there! LOL!
Nice choice Mike. They're beautiful speakers. Yes, they've grown on me!

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:With 450 hours on your D3's, I imagine it's about time they start looking for a new home... :snicker:
Don't know if any of you guys interested in the D3's have seen this ad or even if Mike may know these guys. If legit, 60% of retail seems like a good deal, especially if you can go get them yourself.

Your not turning yours over already?
That's too bad Mike, thought you really liked them and were auditioning amps for them.
Brian,
I'm a sucker for harp guitars Michael Hedges was really something with a hg. The guy now that is definitely one of the best and probably best harp guitarist in the world is Stephen Bennett Stephen Bennett - Official Website Check out Stephen playing on the YouTube channel off of his site....quite something.
Thanks for the pointer. I checked out the vids. All a bit slow for me but very nice music.
The pics and now listening to SB take me back to an old VHS tape I have of Michael Hedges and Shadowfax concert. MH plays the HG and also has the drummer from Shadowfax play along, then MH comes out and plays with Shadowfax. I'm going to have to dig that out and watch it again as it is great old footage.
As originally discovered by David and then Bob, I put a slab of granite under the D3's tonight. 20 x 22 x 1 1/8 thick. This minimizes the energy which the speaker creates which goes into the room and then back into the speaker - repeating many times a second. Bass is certainly softer (but after 450 hours - bass was excellent). For those who have a bit too much bass - the granite trick really works.
Bob, my dealer David Baskin, was the first to do this. That's where Mike and I first saw it !!
It's interesting in that under my D1s I didn't like the granite as well as just the stand on the carpet. But with the D3s I put them under them almost immediately after getting them and never looked back. Definitely a must try.
BTW - Ceramic tile is 90% of using granite and a lot easier to get to try it out.

I'm not totally sure. But I'm have a couple 3 centimeter granite slabs made, so once I get them I'll be able to test them out.
I tried a couple of 2" butcher blocks first. Then I had some ceramic tiles laying around so I tried them. Then I went with some granite tiles 5/16". I also have mass loaded the tile with some old Accoustic Balists that I had laying around.
Each was an inprovment.
