Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ

David, Did you get the XOT's ?

I have my FEQ on top of some MIG's and I just placed an Audio Magic PEA on top of the FEQ.
The PEA adds even more slam to the FEQ.

I have the XOT's- two sets as the horns are biwired. They effect a major change in stage with and depth. I do not hear a shift in frequency. Bass is tighter. Space between instruments does not feel as "dense". I only have 6 hours on them. I certainly heard one or two break in changes almost like an audio degaussing. Will let the system play overnight. If you have the dual speaker leads (which accept both spades and banana plugs) the XOT banana plug version sure is easy to put in and take out for evaluations.

The XOT build quality is excellent. The effect is much greater and on more aspects of the sound than the Walker product.

Not finished the evaluation but the effect the XOT's have on a system should make most serious audiophiles try them on their own system. Postage is maybe $10.00 each way.

Putting them in your system is makes you think how and why you like what you hear.

Ozzy, how many Audio Magic PEA's are you using and where?
I am using five IPC Acoustic Energizers. One behind each speaker, one at each end of the listening couch, and one directly behind where I sit.

Man posting on Audiogon seems to be days behind.

Anyway, David I have 4 of the PEA's. One is inside my PS Audio P10 that powers my digital and home theater equipment. Then, I have 2 of them placed on the back of my speakers over the crossovers. And the last one is sitting atop of the SR FEQ.

Well, I just received the XOT's. I have two sets due to biwiring. I only have a couple of hours with them but already I can tell a change in the soundstage. The music is really out into the room. Not forward just all over the room. Singers sound larger and more centered and seemingly involved in the music.

Now, I used to own a lot of Synergistic Top of the line products. I got irritated and sold off my cabling and conditioners due to the constant upgrading of the equipment making my current models obsolete and worth much less. Not to mention all of the extra wires needed with the "active shielding".
After I sold them off I swore I would not get anymore Synergistic products.
Well I started back with the trial of the HFT's and I was hooked once again. I've got to give them credit for being so innovative.
