H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied.

Seth, my review was based on my listening experiences in a VERY "regular" rectangular room with a very small listening triangle. Now I am in a much larger space, with an open side going into a hallway and 12 foot ceilings. No Caravelle on earth (infact no 7 incher I know of) can move the air we're talking about. My Caravelles, BTW, are running full speed: top to bottom. I have my James1500s only crossed over at 50Hz. "Let's keep an open mind?" Did I say anything other than I still love my Caravelles? Compare them to yours, or any other speakers? Make any super superlative remarks? Come on Seth...Shit, I haven't been on the 'gon all summer, but for a very few times. Never fails.

That might cause some to look in the mirror. :)

I am a dealer for Starsound products. Speaker stands are critical to the mass...and the energy that this speaker is designed to transfer out from itself. The dedicated Sistrum stands allow for vertical adjustment. I found that raising the front of the speaker one eight of an inch higher than the back adds more air, energy and stage view.Tom

I hope Blcube will chime in on this one. But we both heard the dedicated Sistrum stand severely deteriorate the sound of the Caravelles. Much of the magic of this speaker was lost with that stand. Even sitting them on a homemade wooden stand sounded better. I was shocked at this because I am a firm believer in the Sistrum products, but they made a wrong turn somewhere with this thing.

Oz, that's the first I've heard of that. Although I have the Caravelles on Sistrum stands, they are not the dedicated stands. When you heard the "magic" what were the Caravelles sitting on? Wood stands? Wood is an incongruity with the Caravelles given the nature of the coupling and resonance transferrence principles that go into the Caravelle. Can you elaborate on the "magic" that was lost?
