so they are finally home . yes in white.lol. never owned a white speaker before, so i figured it was time.
so far i can see that these need some break in. from early this afternoon until this evening, ive either been listening or they were playing. and they got a whole lot better in 5-6 hours. when i first hooked them up i had some brightness and some bass rattle way down low, but that has subsided for the most part, and the brightness went away quickly. im guessing that was due to the snappers not being warmed up and not being turned on in a month.
i cant believe with the large amounts of money the speakers are that ive looked at in the last 3 months, that this is all possible at $3500 retail. i was afraid that after all those speakers this would not be exciting for me. but it really is. i dont even have my turntable yet, and im playing cd's on a $50 cd player(maybe more i dont know) but everything sounds wonderful. these speakers gave me big soundstage right out of the boxes, although i have noticed the sounstage is still moving around a bit. since i only have 5 cd's thats easy to figure out quickly.lol. they pump out pretty deep bass for 2-5" maybe 6" woofers. and they can handle all the highs my hovland can throw at them. and the midrange is a s smooth as silk on everything ive heard.
they are light but knocking on the sides i find them to be insulated well. im going to run them as much as possible until next week when my turntable should arrive, then put em to the real test.while i breakin a cartridge. hopefully i can get 100 hours on them but thats tough since i dont have the remote for the cd player and i cant play on repeat.
im also breaking in some new tubes and a couple power cords, so im sure it will all get even better!!!!
these sound good enough as they are now to maybe make me stop my speaker search for awhile. once the table gets here i can sit back and enjoy the many changes that happened to my system over the last year.
if your in the market for a great value speaker , go hear these. or come here and hear em.lol.
