Received my DI's last week. Hooked them up and was not impressed. However, I just plopped them down where my previous stand mount speakers were. Thought I made a big mistake but decided to work with them to see what I could coax out of them.
My previous speakers were a little dark and needed some lift so I chose various silver combination cables to lighten the mix. These did not go well with the DI's.
Went thru one by one to get the best balance with other cables I have. This helped.
The first amps used were SS CLAYTON Audio M70's. Nice class A amps and generally have a warmer presentation but somehow didn't seem to be a good match.
So I pulled out the COINCIDENT Frankenstein 300B amps. MUCH better.
Now we're starting to get somewhere. The 300B's have no problem driving them.
I am in the process of moving them around to find the best placement / integration with my room.
It's a work in progress but making improvements The speakers seem to be starting to break in and loosen up. The 60 day trial period should be more than enough time to break them in and tweak my system. Will keep you posted on the progress.
