WERD! Dude, how are things up yonder in Saskatoon? Getting a little nippy this time of year I bet. Do you still have your Zen Adagios? If so how do the Model T internal passives compare (not looking for good or bad, just how they sound). Before I became aware of the Model T's I had it boiled down to the Marten Design Djangos, ML Summits, Thiel 3.7, Maggie 3.7's w/JL F110s leaninng toward the Djangos. The Model T's w/outboard passive are at an attractive price point compared to that bunch so they have caught my attention. As I recall you have one of the better sets of ears among the Bryston AC buds so I always appreciate your thoughts. Hoping you get to hear the external passive and active so you can report back.
Cheers!
Hey Dyna, man o man the winter is pretty intense this year. Not only that but somehow the city councillors decided that Saskatoon doesn't need snow removal in the residential streets. They picked the snowiest year to try and save money on what we need for useless city spending like a new website which is costing saskatoon 1.2 million...lol. We got idiots at city hall right now. I am being serious. They are idiots in the serious sense. I really feel like going down to City hall and confronting our mayor and asking. "Are you frickn stupid?. Thats a serious question mayor. Are you frickn stupid?
Anyways, those are a serious selection of signature speakers you got... way to go.
Yes i still own the AZs. The Model ts are somewhat similar. Only that the way they look is not the way they sound. They remind me of an MTM config. in sound. Very much the same way my AZs sound. The Model ts are way louder and they also have serious bass. With my AZs i get a decent bass punch but its more about resolving notes than sucker bass punches to the face....lol. With the model ts you get what i get from my AZs in resolving but you also get sucker bass punches to face that kinda sit you back.
With my AZs you get the mtm ribbon deal but they dont have the dynamic swing you get from a like a tweeter over mid that a pmc gives you. The ribbon deal and the mtm gives you nice cymbal focus and basically any treble response gets better midrange cohesive staging, when its done right. Thats what i like about them or i prefer anyways. Well with the Model ts you get best of both worlds i am finding. You get the mtm focus and treble cohesive staging (somehow) but you also get the dynamic swings of a ttmm config. I going to have more hours on them this week so thats basically my first thoughts.
I would check them out and consider that the outboard xover will lighten the cabinet distortion. They have got to be better.
