Well, after a very fine audition at Mr. Salk's residence I have to get these speakers aa
I'm stretching it to make it to the basic HT3 model with out the baffle with just a nice Bubbinga Waterfall finish, unless my Wife See's them at the upcoming Akfest and changes her mind
I'm hoping that once in person she hears them and can see them I should be good to go.
What if any things are a must to have when ordering so that I'm not running back to MI for updates?
I thought the Black Hole treatment and possible a front firing port? My room is great room with cathedral ceiling but it will not be able to have the speakers placed more than 24" from the wall. I hate boomy bass which is one thing I was pleased to hear at Jim's. I have talked to Jim about it and he said it will be close but OK...
I have the Gallo Ref 3's with SA that I really like to tame my difficult room, especially phase. The room has full carpeting,light drapes and a rug in front of Couch. Eight Nerve adapt seems in the 2 front corners and directly above the system itself.
I really like my ref 3's with imaging and the tailoring characteristics of the SA, but after hearing the HT'3 I was very impressed. Similar in sound but so accurate in the Mid's. Treble close with the Gallo CDT but equally impressive. Mid to lower mids were so clean I listened to a few cuts twice to believe what I had heard. The Van Alstine gear is very nice as well. I had wanted to listen to the Amp for some time and it drove the HT3 nicely.
Listening habits: Jazz,Samba,New Age,Trance,Classical,Blues. Any help appreciated. Help me realize my dream speakers.
