Hello Karsten,
A belated "Happy New Year" to you.[/list:u]
Well, I have two Butler 2250 amps now. One was good, two is much better. As we discussed, the Timepiece speakers love power. So running as mono blocks the performance is sooo much better. I have them matched with a Juicy Music Blueberry tube preamp. A nice combo. In a day or so , I'm expecting a Bent NOH passive preamp which I will try with the Butler's to see how that sounds. I recall that member Double Ugly used a passive with his Butler's ...

Hi Chris,

Nice to hear you are getting along with the Timepieces, and of course, an even more belated "Happy New Year" to you as well

Personally I haven't had the best experiences with passive preamps, well of course a good passive is better than a poor active. My favorite is the cryo treated Belles 21A, this baby sing (and rock!) Well, I guess you know by now that I like the Belles gear

I have a set of Revelation on their way... Should be here in time for the show in Copenhagen 5-6 th of March, I'm really looking forward to these babies !!

Yes, there are som nice new SP products comming in near future..... Let's see what Bob has up his sleeve

Chris,

Here is some of the first coverage:

http://www.euphonia-audioforum.se/forums/index.php?showtopic=1372

Generally speaking everything went well, the Revelations needed some more break-in which I'm working at now.

I can say already now that the new tweeter really has done some good, microdynamics, resolution, etc. is greatly improved. This means that listening to acoustic music etc. is a lot more fun now than before.

The bass of those Revelations are a whole other chapter, talk about realism, wow

I'll write some more impressions as I get to know them better in broken-in condition.

Brg,
Karsten

It was a big room, if my conversion is correct, something like 900 sq ft.

The entire ceiling was covered with acoustic panels, so it was actually almost too sound dead. The problem it gave me was that it was hard to judge how loud we were playing not being in the direct sound field. According many we played far too loud...

The new tweeter has allowed me to go back to the cryoed 150A amps now. These were pretty harsh sounding with the old tweeter, now they are doing great.

I took some pictures myself. Unfortunately I did not have any additional speed lights etc. so taking pictures against the light from the windows was a little difficult.

The kind guys from Sweden had all the good stuf with them, so their pictures are quite good.

Regards,
Karsten

Chris,

Yes Bob and his crew really did a huge effort in having this set ready for the show i Copenhagen this weekend. Given the time frame available to do this, it is a miracle they made it. Well, I know that Bob had a lot of sleep to catch up in the days after they were completed

They are breaking in very nicely by now. The bass is very impressive, they go deeeep and clean, a simulation of a small earth quake is no problem

The new tweeter is also a big improvement over the old one. You should speak to Bob about getting the upgrade.

Regards,
Karsten

The speakers do look great, Id be interested in your feed back
on how much the revelations change during the break-in.

Chris, You caught that did ya.

I should have a pair of oak Continuums w/upgraded tweeters
and caps some time in April, if all go's well.

I've heard Bob has been doing a great job on the new tweeter.
Are you upgrading latter on.

Well of course, how could one live without

It is bound to be one brute beast of an amp, but hopefully sweet sounding as well.

Dave is still working on getting it perfect, I'll let you know when I get a chance to evaluate it.
