The Boulevard Theater has decided to use 1.7 in our main VIP Lounge/ Listening room. We Looked at going with about 6 other speaker companies and they are all great products but after dealing with Wendell the choice was simple.
After about 100 hours of burn In I can only tell you that you will have to spend about 5x the money to get better sound than the 1.7. A lot of times the audio mags will give a GREAT award not because the product is worthy, but because you spent money with there marketing department. Not here the 1.7 deserves every award that it has been given. The speaker delivers sound in such a way that moves your spirit. I can go on and on about placement, and the acoustics of the Planer, but the bottom line is when I play Chris Botti, I feel like I am in the 5th row. When I listen to Mary J. Blige my heart feels her pain as the sound hits my ears. When Stevie Ray Vaughn is strumming his guitar I can feel the smoke penetrate my lungs in the speakeasy. Yes the imaging is wonderful, and what these speakers do in the midrange at any price is fantastic. Bass is thin but nothing a good sub can’t correct. Bottom line is after hearing these speakers nothing comes close for the money. Yes this (speaker) does that and that (speaker) can do this but, at what cost. These speakers cost less than my power conditioners. The best value in Audio I have ever seen and I have been doing this for 30 years....
