Well, Chris has contacted me and it looks like I'm going to be able to hear his SS 10's .
I'm really excited, I sure hope these speakers like rock music, 'cause that's what I'm going to feed them
There is no substitute for hearing speakers. One thing to keep in mind when auditioning the SoundScapes is these speakers like few others may disappear leaving only the music. If you are accustomed to listening to speakers that emphasize part of the music, this may take some time to appreciate.
As Jim Salk stated in an interview:
I had a friend over one night to hear the SoundScapes. Before I fired the system up, I said, “You know that tomorrow people will ask you for a report.”
“Yeah…so…,” he said.
To which I replied, “Well, the problem is you will be hard pressed to explain it to them. These speakers do not stand out in any way. So it will be difficult to point toward any specific performance attribute that might set them apart. All you will hear is the music…nothing more, nothing less. Once you hear them, you will understand. But it will be difficult to explain the experience to someone who has not.”
