Just got a pair of SHL5, I was wondering what I can expect for break in time?? Also any one have a feel on what speaker cables are a good match and biwire vs single, amp is a Plinius 9200?
Just picked up Clear Day Cables Shotgun for my SHL5's with Mastersound 300B SET integrated. You might like Double Shotgun. Free in-home trial. Great quality, service, and value. Paul is great to deal with.
Thanks for the feedback.. if I can save the $$ on going single wire with no penalty that would be great.. I have found in my little bit of listening that single wire on the top posts sounded better than on the bottoms.. I also found that the plates sounded really veiled.. Need more listening time but today I'll just let them play.. Merry Xmas you all :-)
I haven't heard any changes in the sound from my SHL5. I've bought them new last June and played them intensely since. The main changes I heard were with amplifier's matching. I had the chance to try them with Luxman L-505u, Sugden A21al, Nelson Pass "The Zen" and actually Luxman L-590AII.
About single wire, the owner manual suggests to connect them to the lower posts.
A long time and they never really open up, IMO. Never became as transparent as my 7s, just sayin'. Better lows, but not "real" lows. Beautiful sound, great vocals, but somewhat of a disappointment for me. I prefer the 7s with a sub.
