Snappers!!!

Ha ha !!! Awesome Jerome is here!!! Definitely my snapper buddy!! I noticed one of the front manley banner lights is dimmer than the other so I emailed manley. They said they'd send out a new pair of led boards or something. Cost me like $25. Has no effect on anything I just want it right. Lol .
Now that I've been listening for a few days, it's really sounding great in here. When I traded the fosgate to get into the hovland the highs went through the roof. But I was still lacking depth in the soundstage and the voices seemed to drown out the music more than they should have .
Maybe it was the bad resistor in the jas amp I was using. Don't know. But these snappers added everything else and the highs are still off the hook. I got a nice setup now for a pretty modest price.
The second person this week told me that snappers and Joseph pulsars seems like they are made for each other. Hmmmmm . I seem to be a monitor guy anyway, never had much luck with the floorstanders I've bought in the past. Yet I've had great experiences with monitors several times. Hmmmmm. Lol !!!!
Happy 4th everyone!!!
 
Here you go Steve......

Heard the Pulsars once, they sounded awesome! And they sound a lot bigger than they really are!
 
Omg Jeff!!!!!
I see the amps, I see the speakers , I see the steelhead . If you put the Merrill in the middle I might not be able to get to sleep tonight. My dream system. Im running numbers in my head right now. Lol . Beautiful pic!!!
I really wish I lived closer to your shop!

Well as you know mark I love YOUR speakers. Lol revel salon2 in black
will eventually be in my house. But my room is smaller and I have too much stuff in it to really make full range worth it. Think Joseph pulsars are where I need to be. Lmao!!!! Wish I had a way to hear the snapper setup with the Joseph's and that steelhead. Other than fly to San Fran.
Cause that's where I'm headed with my equip.
 
You do not have to hear the Snapper, Pulsar, Steelhead combo to realize that would be a winner.

On another note, the Studio2 would be even better in smaller rooms but both Revels are power hungry.

Steve, I've never read a bad word about the Pulsars,everyone that has reviewed them,loved them !! On a side note, you have to hear a Lyra cartridge with your Classic, it's unbelievable !!! The Delos or Kleos are both the best I've ever heard on vinyl !!!!

Your probably right , I just looked up studios. I guess the studio 1's were different looking. I wasn't a big fan of the look of those. But the 2's are different I like em. I honestly never heard the salons . I just think they are the coolest looking speaker out there especially in black.

I'm already on the lyra cartridge. Lol . Ive been a fan for some time now. its almost time. I'm going to get Jeff to order me another arm tube so I can run both. As for what Lyra it will be that is still tbd. :D. I bet your kleos is sounding sweet!!!!kleos>chinook!!! Awesome!
 
Steve - I owned the Salon 2's in black and I've seen Mark's in the wood finish. It's way better. IMO - the wood finish makes them look like $50,000 speakers! The Studio 2's are easier to drive than Salon 2's. I bet your Snappers would be fine driving them to modest (not ear bleeding though) levels.

The Kleos is sweet, but if your on a budget, the Delos is no slouch, it's fantastic !!

I concur. I heard it at Mark's. Sweet top end. Quiet tracker. Dynamic. Oh, and the Chinook phonostage is no slouch. Joe's Steelhead will be killer.
 
Mike I've seen the black ones, just never listened to them. I never saw the wood finish ones in person and pics never do justice to any wood speaker. I'm sure they are nice.
Did I mention the last 9 vehicles I've owned were black. Lol !

Mark is there really ever a budget when you really want something hahaha!
I was actually thinking about buying the next used Titan i that came up on audiogon.
They popup every month or so. Lol might cut into my speaker funds but what are ya gonna do :eyebrow:
