Buggtussel Speakers - heard 'em?

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?

My cousin is Dr. Kevin Blair. My uncle sent me a pair of the large Amygdala I believe they are a few years ago.

They are fantastic speakers. For reference I also listen to Dalquest DQ 10's and Martin Logan 1st generation Sequels. All very good but somewhat different.

The Buggtussels need a lot of break-in time due to the gold deposition that is preformed on the kevlar drivers.

After 50 or so hours they begin to wake up and are incredibly accurate and musical. They will do okay on a 100 watt per channel amplifier but really want much more in reserve to come alive.

Well, holy mother of bumps that have been bumped again.  Nothing like a topic from 2004........
