Greetings, Everyone,
This is my first posting here, although I have been an Audiogon member for over a decade.
I see there is interest here in Full Range drivers, so I would like to add my $0.02.
I own a pair of Ocellia Tillias (granted the Golden Ear Award by TAS, if you care, and positive reviews worldwide.
I also have a pair of Diatone 610Ma drivers in BR enclosures purchased from EIFL, Japan.
Recently I discovered the Hartley 220MSG driver and was fortunate enough to find a pair online, concurrent with a pair of cabs for the Hartley Holton Towers - including all the drivers minus the original 220's, so I got the cabs and the (current 22MSGs and put them together. This speaker is essentially a full range driver in an infinite baffle enclosure with help on the bottom and top and an extremely minimal xover.
All this represents a surfeit of riches, and I have wanted to determine what to keep and what to sell, but I have procrastinated due to my love of each and every one of these speakers.
I just bought the AUM Acoustics LDR from playntheblues and and will take advantage of it's reference level transparency to compare these speakers and decide which to keep and which to sell.
My amps are an Art Audio Symphony ll, and a Custom 300b from 3Dimension Audio, and my source is a Metronome C1a DAC fed by a Shigaraki Transport. Cabling is Grover Huffman and Mojo Audio, and all my power cords are Mojo's,
Polycrystal rack and SP-10 Mk ll with Denon 304, SL1300 w/Technics cartridge for analog sources, and I am shopping for a phono pre.
It will take some time to set things up for comparisons, and longer to listen, but I finally have purpose to set things up properly and do the Audiofool thing!
I welcome all question and comments.
Warmest Regards,
