Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[haraldo]

No. But, for an extra $5000.00, you get two Malaysian guys that will ride along and make you teh tarik.

I'm not interested, Malaysian guys cannot make proper Greek coffee

How d'you like Jim Salk's personal pair of speakers

 

[monkish54]

I listened to both of those, and the Salk Silk in that room.

wow, really? and your impression, I heard they're waaaah

Yes, do tell.

 

[haraldo]

Yes, do tell.

Tell what? a Fairytale?

 

[monkish54]

Yes, do tell.

There were three speakers at the show I really, really liked: SS8, YG ANAT III, KEF Blade. The SS8 and YG sound more neutral to me than the KEF Blade. Had I been there to buy speakers, I would have left with the SS8 and the Salk Silk without a doubt. The only speaker I listened to that impressed me as much as the SS8 was the YG ANAT III. Considering the YG is $111,000 more than the SS8, I would easily call the SS8 the best of show.

The finish on those Salk speakers is outstanding. The pictures really don't do the finish any justice.

I never had a proper or improper, Greek coffee. But, I have had pulled tea (teh tarik) and it's really good. We used to have an Indian restaurant here that would make teh tarik (pulled tea) table side similar to the way the guy in this video is doing it.

Unfortunately, the place went out of business due to some reoccurring health code violations.

I checked the pricing on those and then went on to look at the prices on some other stuff ... it kind of made me feel good about what I paid for my stuff. I guess it's good that I never heard a direct comparison of the SongTowers and their betters. Having heard the STs and their betters apart is like listening to two different good things. Better doesn't really enter the equation ... thank God.

 

[haraldo]

I'm getting very curious now Alex, which speakers do you have?

I never seen anything like this before but it's incredibly clever....

Salk SongTowers with the LCY ribbon tweeter. Very similar in appearance to the ones you linked.

 

[Swerd]

Alex's are the towers standing in front of the shelves, without their black plinths. He also got the small black 2-way speakers standing on the stools.

[haraldo]

Even ln lo-rez pics the Salk woodwork looks stunning

very good choice Alex !!!!!!

No question they do great work. The center I got from them is amazing and the curly maple looks ridiculously good. IMHO, it's totally worth it to scrap the standard black front baffle for the veneered one.
