Calling all Escalante Design Fremont Owners

Can anybody give me advise on best speaker cables to use with Fremonts along with Ayon Triton tube which next on my list.

Dave

Dave,

I have heard the Fremonts with Ayon, can't remember what cables they were using at the Show (CES 2009) though.

So David,

Do you like them?? I have mine rocking with an ARC Ref 5 pre, the EMM Labs TSD1/DAC2and a Krell Evo 403 all wired with Transparent reference XL and it is a sweet sounding rig.

I realized I never answered one of your questions, as for positioning they like some space behind them but can do without as they are front ported, I find I like them almost straight forward with just a tiny bit of toe in.

Hope you are enjoying them!

Hi Pal,

This will make you laugh but waiting for my basement to be finished which will be 4wks away. Now was looking at the Ayon amps but seldom available so was maybe going to have a punt a a set of Vac amps to get the real richness as the Fremonts are so revealing.

Dave

They are very revealing but in a polite way. They work well with SS as well as tubes. While they are highly efficient, they like power. Matt Waldren once told me you could plug them into a 15 Amp wall outlet and they won't blow, even offered to let me do it to mine to prove it if I wanted! (Supposedly they output something like 130 dB @ 60 Hz!)

I've got mine with a ARC Ref 5 pre and Krell Evo 403 amp right now and it's a really nice combo!
