Hello all,

I'm interested in what people who have heard the speaker feel about it. I currently run spatial M3 turbos and have an all tube analog setup ( line magnetic, hagerman ) with an oppo 105 being the digital front end.


Previous speakers have been acoustic zen, reference 3A, Maggie 3.6, and triangles. I am more concerned with a huge immersive sound stage than I am with pinpoint imagery. I have a big room and have plenty of space between the back wall and my speakers if I need it.


Any thoughts?

One initial impression that comes to mind with these is maturity. These speakers having a way of playing with stature and solidity regardless of the genre. Haven’t had a chance to sit and listen but will make time over the next few days.

Ah, so they arrived.  Good.  They change a lot in the first 100 hours and the worst is the first 20-30 so it is good you are playing them and not really listening much.   They are fun:)

Also, look at the various threads about isolation.  Nothing fancy.  Those cheap rubberized cork pads all over Amazon work great.  I was only able to find 2 inch thick ones, but I sliced them down to 1 inch on a band saw.  You can use Herbies dots, whatever, but I certainly found that isolating them from the floor tightened up the bass and really everything.  You can do it really inexpensively.  the cork pads cost me about $20 for both speakers.

Congrats @bjesien They are indeed fine speakers that do so many things right. I'm sure you will be even more impressed when you can spend some quality time with them.

Yes, congrats. Labor well the placement. As with many good speakers, tiny changes make big differences in tonal balance and imaging.
