High filter. - I forgot to mention the specific Herbie"s "giant" glider
In fact reading your initial ss arrival posts is what led me to buy a set, they work great! a large thank you
How are you SS tens treating you?
I really admire your photography skills. Albert Porter gets a run for his money.
On toe in.
I do no tow in, and the dead center image is full and solid. The soundstage very enhanced. Some recordings I swear a few placed instruments are 3ft + beyond the speaker.
Perhaps toe in would widen the sweet spot - try it out
The dispersion patterns of the raal and accutron are incredibly wide - which makes for less need for toe in.
Jim and Dennis really did a fantastic job merging just the right drivers with their cabinets.
The Soundscape 10s and 12s do have enhanced dispersion aspects due to the "no hold's barred" minimal isolated driver cabinet approach but I would say that based on my experiences with the HT3s, that the traditional full front face cabinet has great wide dispersion and toe in not necessary.
The "speaker disappears in the room" sound is a trademark quality of the Salk brand
Experiment with your system - and don't overlook your speaker placement down to cm shifts. The distance the speakers are apart and from the listener are also critical, I like the Cardas equa-distance near-field approach. Moving my listening position (couch) up 6 inches had a positive effect. A tape measure, woofer sound quality aspects from distance out from the walls, and a patient set of ears is well worth the enjoyment. You would be amazed how far you can fine tune things.
Masking tape is your friend.
Speaker placement is one of the most neglected and rewarding upgrades, and the cost is not prohibitive.
