First pic of the new room

[croseiv]

J, your yard is outstandingly beautiful!

In the first pic, the property line is about 40-50yds out, somewhere past the farther, big tree toward the center. In the other pic, that's looking toward the back of the property. It goes back as far as you can see in the pic, up and over the hill.

Afterlife was asking about the setup of my surrounds. Here's a pic or two.

 

[j_garcia]

Hmmmmm..... for some reason I don't see a pic of the new setup either? Weird. This one is older (still has the 8300), but more or less how it looks now, give or take a few things

WHen I first moved. I think I posted these in the boring thread LOL

 

[afterlife2]

Nice. Have told you I love that cabinet! How about a whole pic of the couch and surrounds?

 

[j_garcia]

Too messy right now

 

[afterlife2]

I was wondering why...I don't care lets see the cookie crumbs.

 

[j_garcia]

OK already

I was trying to get rid of that desk and it sort of ended up becoming the speaker modding/building, "laptops go here" spot.

 

[j_garcia]

Redid the cables for the mains with some new Knu Konceptz BFAs and cable pants.

*edit better pic

 

[afterlife2]

Well what have WE here?

 

[j_garcia]

Well, all I can say is WOW. These little guys are no joke. I already think I am going to have a hard time going back to my A/V-2s after listening to these and that's uncalibrated and without the poly-fill added. The lower sensitivity is very noticeable, but they just sound amazing right out of the box. Threw in Patricia Barber Cafe Blue SACD and currently listening to another SACD of hers, Companion. 2ch, full range.

Velvet sleeves; nice touch.

Love that raked trapezoidal shape

Dust took only seconds to find them

They included the proper special connectors but they are solder type and I just wanted to listen My BFAs were able to fit in them. Will likely order some new wire and build a set just for these guys.

Great looking speakers, absolutely beautiful.

Are they tilted for time/phase alignment or cosmetic?

 

[j_garcia]

I didn't ask Danny about that, because his N-series are flat front, but I'd guess time alignment might have been a factor. It might also just be because they need a little angle to them because the tweeters throw such a huge, three dimensional stage. I have to shoot him an email anyway because I'm not sure if they were supposed to have grilles too or not.

 

[afterlife2]

What beauties. You can always use the covers when not it use to keep the dust away. Congrats and enjoy them to the fullest!

 

[j_garcia]

Well Danny said they were supposed to come with the grilles, so hopefully that means they will get sent to me

Those are really sharp. I would not want to cover them up (although I would not turn down grills if they are supposed to come with them). Are the ribbon tweeters like that delicate? They must be magnetic as I don't see any holes in the front.

The tweeters are the best part IMO. They are sublime - TONS of detail without being harsh - almost sound like a soft dome.

Yes, the grilles are supposed to be magnetic like my other ones.

[j_garcia]

I think you missed them in one of the thread (Swerd?) You can get a pair of these B-stock for $399 In fact, they have the whole line up for amazing deals:

Another big sale on completed speakers.
