Vettett15 - those cross-over boxes came that way, no assembly required. You do have to cut a board to mount the cross-over components on the board to fit inside that cabinet. I errored in that regard and have to trim my plates darn-it.
It's going to be an interesting report. Consider this.
My wife and critically listened to many hundreds of systems. Few we really liked. What we were hearing tonight, slaving our minds to the compromises - if you will - in equipment, that is, cross-overs that are compromised and wires not fully realized, yikes.
Listening to Sade "Soldiers Of Love" through the Tyler Decades fed by a Allnic L3000, Onix SP3 with an Oppo BDP95 source taking data from a hard drive it was really good. The bass wasn't good at all, but it was playing, I mean singing. If I were to have walked into a room, say at CES, or Rocky Mountain, I would have really liked this setup! Maybe the mere presence of the Super V's have something to do with this?
Those Decade D1's really like tubes. Danny seems to have designed a ruler flat response into the Decades that makes them play ruler flat when mated with highly accurate solid state amps. These speakers have now seen no less than 6 amps, 3 tube and 3 SS. All 3 tube killed all 3 SS amps.
The plate amps are on there way, March 6th is the date. I should have these speakers fully assembled or rather, wired this weekend waiting for those amps.
I'll need some burn-in time then I'll need some golden ears to assess what these speakers are all about.
Any volunteers?
