New speaker help

[ryanosaur]

Yes.
KEF has a reputation for causing listening fatigue. I experienced it while auditioning two pair of KEFs. Kinda sucked. Shady and a couple other cats chimed in about that. One suggested the speaker had something wrong, but I suspect it was their Uni-Q driver. *shrugs
But the other solution made a lot more sense! If the Tweeter isn't beaming right at you, it should alleviate that fatigue to some extent, in theory.

Alright guys...I got my Chane A2.4s. Hooked everything up and my damn LF and RF channels do not work. Hooked up the old speakers....same thing. Any ideas?

If it didn't for some reason go into protection mode... First, double or triple check all your settings just to make certain something didn't change. Then, go into your standard troubleshooting protocol: Soft Reset. Start by unplugging your AVR, give it a slow 10 count, plug it back in, and see if it starts up ok. If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a reset, probably. Should be listed in the owners manual how to do that.

I’m questioning if my stand can handle the weight. It flexes a tad worn the center on it haha.

What stands do you have? do you know the weight rating for them? Some don't hold much! Compare that to your speakers... if its close maybe not a big deal. but a little bump could send those new speakers tumbling if too heavy.
I bought VTI stands for my 34# BMRs... supposed to hold up to 100#. I don't believe it, but I will say they are almost the same weight as my speakers, especially filled with sand!
And if you can fill yours with sand, do it. A 50#bag of kiln dried sand is $4-5, or Clay Kitty Litter. Just wear a dust mask when filling them, and they should be a bit more sturdy. Floor spikes may help too (can't tell if yours has them).

But more importantly: How do your new boxes sound?

I’m talking about the TV stand. My center makes the glass shelf flex a bit. For the L & R those are Monoprice stands. I really like them!

Overall I’m very happy with the speakers. They’re much more neutral compared to the SVS Primes I tried out last month. One concern of mine was build quality as I’ve read that that Chane focuses less on looking aesthetically pleasing, but I’ll say they’re on par with SVS in terms of quality and looks. Overall I’m very happy!
