I was afforded the great pleasure of being able to listen to Jim’s HT4’s on Saturday when I stopped by his house to pick up a Song Center. When we’d arranged the pick up, Jim asked if I’d like to hear the HT4’s, and I said I’d love to. When my wife and I arrived, we were welcomed by Jim and Mary, and shortly after Jim led us to his listening room. As a preface, Jim said one thing about the speakers was they really didn’t stand out in any area, they simply passed on the music without adding anything. He was right. My wife, who really didn’t care much for my hifi hobby until I got SongTowers a couple years ago, was blown away by the HT4’s. So was I. On the songs that were familiar to us, we heard detail and intricacies which to that point we’d never experienced. Words can’t really do justice to the experience the HT4’s offer. It’s as if there are no speakers present, only the music is there. When our brief listening session ended, I told Jim he was going to sell a lot of them, regardless of the price. In my 40+ years in this hobby I’ve never experienced a speaker like it.
As an aside, there must be some kind of ‘mystical power’ they output as well, since on our way from Jim’s my wife said that when we can afford them, we will have to get a pair....I almost lost control of my truck!!! And I was only 'hoping' to get the ok to upgrade to HT2-TL's someday!
Oh, and I did pick up the SongCenter, (which is beautiful btw Jim!) Thanks for letting us experience your pride and joy!
