Should have painted them black to match.

Are they your personal? Going to be used for audio show(s)? Customers?

I like the blue and these are my personal speakers, so my color scheme.  They can both be any color combination a customer might like.

Would only bring these to CAF and no larger rooms are available this year.

Time for wiring the GaN Class D amps and running AC power to everything.

[HAL]

The AGN II's are wired to the amps and amps to the dspNexus 2x8 with AK4499EX DAC's. Power to the 6 Starkrimson Monoblock amps and dspNexus 2x8 are coming from a P.I. Audio Group BlunderBUSS.

I had to relocate the BUSS closer to the center of the room and the IEC power cord needs to be about 1 meter longer. Problem is the longer AC cables were in the room water problem. Now to come up with a new solution.

[HAL]

Well I did a compromise setup and the AGN II Open Baffle Line arrays and 6x12 Open Baffle Servo Subs are up and running!

The 6 Orchard Audio Starkrimson Monoblocks are wired to each pair of planars in parallel for a 4.5 Ohm load.

Now for some break-in time for the planars, but they already sound really good!  The servo woofers are already well used.

[HAL]

The new power cord arrived and installed.

Had to add an XLR splitter cable to get all 4 servo amps running from the 2 sub DAC channels. 

Every type of music so far sounds effortless and well balanced in reproduction.  It has a very live music quality that is hard to describe. 

This is why I like planars in open baffle line arrays.

The real thing to correct is the room acoustics at this point.

Trying a GoPro stereo audio/video recording of the AGN II's with some classical music for a listening session.  This is a Telarc recording with the info in the video description.

YouTube says it will not play everywhere, but will see what happens.

Watch your volume!

There's something magical about line arrays that you just can't get with other speakers.

Tyson,
Heard that for the first time in 1979, and finally fully back to it now. 

Your Line Sources will be the same when completed.  Really enjoyed the first pair Danny built at his place when I got to listen.

Can we get requests?

[HAL]

mix4fix,
If you want a specific piece of music, I can give it a try.  Really depends on the copywrite on the track if it will work. 

And yes, I have played metal on them!  \m/
