Paul's Systems...Before and After.

Re: BlueMcIntosh's Systems...Before and After.

Hi Paul,

Wow, the setup is looking just awesome!

When I saw the Gibbon 3XL Speakers at RMAF this year sitting off to the side of the room (didn't hear them as the O96 were playing at the time), they were perched on the bamboo stands. Man, they are beautiful speakers especially when paired with their matching stands.

Did you purchase the 3XL's or are you demo'ing them?

Have fun....

Dude, that is righteous! :exciting:

Play some tracks with some heavy bass to get those woofers loosened up and then grab some Monk, some wine and sit back and enjoy! :audiophile:

Looks great Paul. You done good! Love the bamboo.

So detailed very transparency and dynamics. Quiet amazed for its size. However I think my audio room is just too big for them. Will try on my bedroom later :)

Paul, I am not surprised.
I think that like the Gibbon 8 series, they need to be close to the front wall or the bass just vanishes.
You heard how magic they are in the treble and the mids ? The more I listen to my Super 8's driven by the McIntosh MC225, the more I'm in love with them...

Yes Jerome. The Tweeter ( share same tweeter as their top of the line : SilverBack ) is just amazing. I hear more detail on every music I throw in.
I've been spoke with John Devore few times via email and he's been very kind and helpful.
The Silverback , Gibbon series are more fall in to Audiophile speakers it seems and you can pair with different amps to get different sounds easily but the O/93 and 96 are different. they are musical speakers and they will work with any amps with beautiful music presentation. ( will miss some hairy detail on high ) -which John also agreed -
I was almost purchased the Super 8's but on second thought I prefer the look of 3XL better ( and knowing that I wouldn't be happy either on bass department anyway ) thinking to pair them with small sub ( maybe REL ) and it will be superb sound for sure.

Am I going to keep it ? Probably ....for my smaller room however I still need more musical speakers so probably end up with either O/96 , Harbeth SHL5 or M40.1.

Remember I sold my PMC IB2i speakers in nearly brand new ? that was the only reason I sold it. They were excellent speakers but I didn't need two big audiophile speakers in my home. So far I'm very happy with my VA Music speakers in that department and they are here to stay.
