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

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?

Hi Warren,maybe OZ will get a chance to come by an hear the
Caravelles the way their setup now.I think then he could really elaborate on thier Magic to You.The reason I started thread,was to fine out what the owners had learned about the Caravelles.Is there anyway to get more out of the speakers.Warren:I thank you for having the balls to speak about the Caravelles.This forum is my Audio Classroom.I have heard the Caravelles on difference pairs of speakers stands.

I first heard the speakers on the homemade wooden stands while blcube waited for the dedicated ones, which was a loooong time. The sound was fantastic and I was sure it would only be better with the new stands. But they robbed the life out of the speakers. They still sounded good, but if you had heard them before, there was no mistaking that something was wrong. All the parts of the music were technically there, but the cohesive "whole" was missing. Blcube now has them on some much more appropriate stands and I do hope to hear them again soon.

Warren,
