Buggtussel Speakers - heard 'em?

Drubin - I thought maybe there was some brightness but the amp being used a big SS type with a silver faceplate, made by Buggtussel. However, I heard a couple records which sounded very good and no brightness at all. The speakers do use a metal dome tweeter and these can have some hardness if not addressed by designer. I think they may work quite well with any number of good tube amps but maybe not SETs.

Tom, where was this show in MI? I am from MI. I have heard the Amygdala's, I thought they were a 'fun' speaker if you wanted to play rock but didn't have the refinement of the N803's I chose, or others. E-mail if you want more info.

I heard them at C.E.S. this year - I was impressed on a few counts but also disappointed. After having listened to about 10 or 12 other speakers that day (including Wilsons, JMLab Be's, and others) I was amazed at the "presence" of the piano concerto they were playing - it sounded very, very live (as in real) - more so than most I have ever heard. I guess it was a combination of soundstaging and articulation. The only thing I was disappointed with is that the drivers seemed cheap for the price - I only noticed it soundwise in the tweeter though (there was a certain haze or high octave tinniness - and I have had speakers with metal domes before that I did NOT notice such a sound). If he added a better tweeter I think he'd have a real winner. That said, I do think they are great speakers, but one of those kinds that you must decide you like what they do better than others, otherwise you might tire of them. I do not believe they were hooked up to tubes when I listened, but I could be wrong.

Yup - Very very nice speakers. Highly recommended. They don't require a lot of power. The bass is responsive anywhere from 10 watts to 200 watts. A real nice sound stage and presence as well. They seem bigger than they are. The tinnyness was probably due to the speaker wire. I was using anti-cables at first and noticed it from time to time.

If you can find a pair - get em. You won't be disappointed.

Well it's only been seven years. You think he found a pair yet?
