These speakers have made me so mad
, I’ve had to reevaluate my system and wonder why my speakers aren’t giving me the same love Mev’s are giving him. Merv and I are good friends. I remember we went into one of our local High end audio stores and were talking to the sales guy and we mentioned that Merv was buying some Ellis 1801’s from SALK Sound. He gave us a funny look and said “Who” and then “why would you buy a speaker without listening to it?” Merv said ‘I’ve read a lot of good reviews in Audio Circle about them and I’ve done the research, I just have faith their going to be good. I have to say I was skeptical also, but very curious as well, plus it wasn’t my money. Well Merv’s faith has led him to the sweet spot of Audio Heaven. These speakers blew me away. We were listening to a live concert of Bob Marley and for the first time I heard people in the crowd that I’ve never heard before. I don’t mean the obvious crowd noise, I’m talking about someone way way waaaaay in the back of the crowd, last row or something, I swear you could hear a person cough and then yell “wooooooooooo”. I think that’s the first time I can say I felt speakers melt away and put you right there in the concert. Well that’s not actually the first time, there was another time but it involved a bottle of Johnny Walker Red and I try to forget that night. Anyway, I’ve heard this CD many times on my own system but I’ve never heard it like this. What kind of voodoo is Salk putting into these speakers?
I was so bent and twisted over these speakers after hearing them I ran home, put the same cd on and just got frustrated that I was not getting that sweet honey sound Merv is getting. Well with that said the next day I opened a SALK speaker saving account. I was lost but now I’m SALK found. Hopefully next year I will be able to place my order for some SALK speakers of my own aa.
PS- We also went to Craig house to listen to the HT3’s – Mind blowing the HT3’s blew several brain cells. I’m totally addicted to the SALK sound. I’m just a walking zombie now. Thanks SALK.
