Just got my SongTower but.......
« on: 4 Aug 2011, 05:40 pm »
well not realy but,  :lol:

they are well over my expectations. The salk team just nailed with the way its veneered and the colour is dead on sexy. They are indeed a piece of a nice high quality furniture speaker.
And they do have that special vocal that is very clean, hard to describe.
Thanks to Jim and the salk team.
Another happy customer, representing from Macau. :thumb:

Will get some time to take some pics but for now i need to enjoy them.

Three guys just headed for the defibrillator.  You had us worried there for a minute.

Ok,
a litle bit of litening.
I have to say the song tower is very well balance speaker from top to bottom. I was worry that the bass would lack punch due to the TL design and some review between the sierra towers, which had been reported to have punchier bass. My overall impression of the bass is that they surpasses the look of those 5 in. woofer. I wasnt expecting the deepness of it. Seriously, it almost made me fell like i didnt need my Rythmik F15.

But lots do with great success...

They are just fine to me the way they are for 98% of what I listen to.

All the best

Hehe, no doubt.  The first thing thought was the Fed Ex/UPS guy damaged another customer's gorgeous, custom Salk speakers.  :evil:

I am happy they have exceeded your expectations and I look forward to the pictures.  Welcome to the Salk family!

13mm or 1/2" socket. Correct.
Glad to hear you like your speakers. :thumb:

Sorry, John is right.  I was thinking spike inserts, not plinth bolts.

Thanks John.

Here are the pics. I tried to capture them as close to the real beauty of the speakers.

Thats a paoferro veneer with deep rose/orange dye. I chose one with less agressive wood grain pattern and i ask Jim not to use book match style, and its exactly what i wanted.

Those are simply awesome looking and I love the looks of the all wood front baffle on them.
