Hello all. I wanted to follow up on my speakers. I think at this point, I can say that I have now reached the point where I am more than overwhelmed with these speakers. I will admit, there was a point, where I wasn't. In reflection, I realize that I was not only breaking in a pair of speakers, but also a set of amplifies. A pair of amplifiers that I built myself... Today however, its all good. If I had any complaint, its that they sound REALLY good when you give them a little juice. Living in an apt in NYC, that can be difficult and considered somewhat un-neighborly.
Now for a little bit of the audiophile gibberish. I think I am most taken by the imaging of the speaker, even in a two channel setup. Further, only last night did I fully realize the potential of the bass, as by son watched Cars for the the first time. I should note the my son, who is 16 months old, also is an admirer of the sound, dancing, clapping, whenever there is music playing. So all in all, a very pleasant experience.
For those that care, I am driving these with a set of Hypex Ncore amps, in mono-block form. My source is a Meridian 861 V4 processor (for the room correction) and a Sooloos music server. My speaker cables are custom/homemade Furutech bi-amp cables (four cables to each speaker) and the amps are fully balanced.
