And I may have to undergo an emergency grinectomy because my face is starting to hurt.
Hot dang Jim makes a great speaker. So far I've just setup the two Song Tower-RTs and the Song Center-RT. The Song Surrounds will just have to wait a bit and due to space issues may wind up in my bedroom. I've been listing to a wide variety of music since yesterday afternoon: Blu-Rays of Diana Krall's Live In Rio and Legends Of Jazz Showcase. Plus favored music selections such as Acoustic Alchemy's Arcan'um, The Eagle's Hell Freezes Over, Fourplay's Best Of Fourplay, Jewel's This Way, Mannheim Steamroller's Freshaire III, Rodrigo y Gabriela's 11:11, and Peter White's Glow. The word that comes to mind is wow! I've heard some amazing speakers in the past, including some that cost quite a bit more but none that I like better. That dang grin just won't go away!
They aren't quite as efficient as my old BA VR3 towers (93db) but the big Onkyo TX-NR906 seems to be driving them just fine. To take a bit of load off the Onkyo I'm crossing over to my PB12 Plus/2 at 60hz but it's just flat obvious that there is bass capability to spare in the Songs. Kick drums feel crisp and strong and the highs are amazingly detailed. I can't get this darn grin off my face.
Please pardon my messy entertainment center but I didn't want to take the time to clean up the cabling before I posted photos. You'll note that because of placement issues I had Jim make these with front ports. I really like the full length of the black plate, although he Ports could probably use some kind of decorative something. But I'm far more interested in function than WAF (I'm happily single).
