I received my new pair of bubinga HT1s last Thursday. These speakers are just flat out beautiful, and I will try and post pictures later. They are very difficult to photograph. I gave them a quick listen and while they were good right out of the box, very clean, I immediately put them on the Isotek burn-in CD. On Saturday I gave them a good listen, and was impressed with the ease of presentation. The bass was tight, mids very clear, and highs extended nicely. The sound stage was pretty localized around the speakers, but opened up with nice depth as time went on, more burn in is necessary. One thing I did notice about the bass. Though very tight, when present, it does kick. An example is Manu Katche, Neighborhood, Number One. I turned it up and felt the kick in my chest and stomach. I know this cut, and the HT1s are red circle "I am so there". I will update this post as more time is logged on them.
