New D3's....first impressions

Nelson, I see that you can get used lp's for about $300. There is a new one on Ebay for $899...yikes. But if it sells systems, then it might be a bargain:) I might buy one of the used ones, but I probably will not have it by Tuesday.
Holy cow!!! I thought by expensive he meant like $80-90. Lol!!
I need some of that carribean jazz!!!! I love that stuff but I don't know what to buy.
And I'm definitely not spending that kinda money on it.
 
The Vivid are certainly "unique" but I love mine. I have been surprised that of all the speakers I've had, for people who have visited my room, (mostly non audiophiles) I've got the most positive reaction to the "snail" aesthetics. You should definitely have a listen. It came down to Raidho and Vivid when I was deciding and I loved both but chose Vivid. Not saying one is better than the other. Then again I also l loved Rockport :) So who knows but definitely worth a listen I would say.

Thanks. I hope to give them a listen at RMAF. Do you have the G1? G2? G3?
 
I have the baby of the bunch the G3. Not saying I wouldn't mind the D3 :) I heard the C3 or C3.1 so with the improvements its hard to imagine something even higher fidelity then what I heard.
 
Back on topic, how many people will be attending this illustrious event? I'm wondering if the room will be able to handle one more.

Bob?

I will be heading to see Sanjay first to hear the infamous TAD REF 1's. Then, boogieing over to Bob's (Rhapsody Cinema) probably around 12:30pm.

No idea on exactly how many are coming, but there is ALWAYS room for one more!!!
 
The D3's arrived in the Big Apple today. 1/2 hour from the DHL guy at the door to playing music. I can tell you that I am quite stunned at the moment. I connected the D3's to my "c" level electronics, to run them in for a few hundred hours. I placed the D3's where I had the D1's, which was about 7' from the back wall to the back of the speakers. The speakers are spread about 16' apart. Right out of the box with dead cold electronics I put on a Haydn piano concerto cd and literally sat in amazement. I feel like Lars is screwing with me and that he broke in the speakers before he sent them. They sound better out of the box with my "c" electronics than my completely broken in D1's with my A electronics. I'm lovin' it.

Will update later.:disbelief:
