Wind Chaser and myself had our first Audio Circle get together with Captainhemo and his business partner recently. When we walked in Wind Chaser went right to the speakers like a magnet and was absolutely smitten by the color, fit and finish, and overall look of the Oticas. I could see, "I Want These" in his every gesture. The picture of them in this thread does not do justice as to how nice they look in real life.
Upon listening I could tell the high performance quality of the system and would have to guess that these represent some of Danny's best work. Not to mention the excellent build of Captainhemo and co with their passion for high end audio and their being such gracious hosts.
Overall I would say those lucky enough to put together this system will be richly rewarded with a very high caliber sound. I would say that you do need room behind the speakers to get the best result and for me that means at least 4' behind them. Actually that's not true, for me I would want at least 6' min. but would prefer 8', 10', or 12' if possible. But then again that is my preference for any speaker.
The system was not optomized for the listening position we sat in. Bass was weak, imaging and integrationed suffered a bit. The couch is pulled 1/4 into the room to make space for a work area behind. That is where the best sound was.
