MMM - then maybe a suitably stoic new england piano gloss white or black........Anyway - congratulations also on the new towers + Philharmonitor, both over-achievers. If I didn't have speakers dropping down around my ears already......but will definitely be on my personal recommend list to friends.
Ah, c'mon, those Bostons are begging to be retired! And the Slims fit into a 100 sq/ft room just dandy.
those are the actual first quasi hifi speakers I ever owned - and the Sansui a lower end version of what I used to drive them. Pure nostalgia. DM's Philharmonitor would outclass them so far it would make it cry a tweeter away (and they are delicate things having already blown two over time). Come to think of it, I neglected to put speakers in the dinning room + kitchen.......
I do not believe I have ever heard anyone refer about any Salk Speaker as sounding that way ???
Interestingly enough, the just mentioned Audioholics write up of both Jim's room and the Philharmonic room never mentioned what electronics were in use. I assume they feel that speakers magically and mystically just drive themselves, or that all the speakers were self powered all the way back to the invisible source.In case anyone cares, Jim was using our Fet Valve 600R hybrid power amp and a Wavelength DAC that had a built in volume control and his streamer. Dennis was using a CD player as a transport, an AVA Fet Valve DAC, Fet Valve and new Transcendence 9 preamps, and either an AVA Fet Valve 600R amplifier or Synergy 450 amplifier along with our new ABX switcher.Frank Van Alstine
