Yes, the CS 3's needed the dsp and that thing has four cables coming out ,two going in and a plug. The Manley vol. control was after the tape out so was not an easy match for it. I had to change the setting in the DSP. The KCII's solved the problem. In the old days the more equipment the better. Loved all the led flashing. I still remember the SAE 2400 L pumping to the beat. Ahhhh the good old days.
I jumped

They had a used pair of the Emerald Physics with external crossover box at a used gear shop in Manheim Pa recently that were going for a steal price for the sound I heard and was tempted but yeah I am down with smaller and simpler these days, so I passed, somewhat regrettably. I heard Spatials at Cap Audiofest last year and got to talk to the designer. Was very impressed.....one of the best of show at relatively affordable price for me. Several years back, at CAF, the DIY’ers were demoing a pair of compact open baffle speakers they built for a pittance in parts and made some of the mega-buck systems there seem pretty lame. |
They certainly look the part What will you be driving them with? this looks interesting https://avm.audio/masterpieces/all-in-one/compact/c-5-2/ Think of the money saved in cabling, and iso devices |
