sounds like a good sign. i am curious about speakers that have to be within 2" of the rear wall... doug s.
The show special was $995, retail $1500. You might call the company and see if they will honor the show special. Sometimes these companies will.
Doug, they were very impressive speakers. Tremendous and shocking bass output into the 20's. I bet you would be impressed with them, too.
What issues did you have?This is too bad since I spent at least 20 minutes in 1030, part of the time listening to "Old Man" from Massey Hall. I really felt I was actually back in 1971 in the hall.
That doesn't ring a bell. Who makes them?
please don't get me wrong, I love that show, the best part for me is just seeing all the people who have become friends. I even had to make special trips to Denver the last two years in the summer primarily to hang with some of these great people (including our wonderful Marjorie).on the business side it is VERY expensive for the big room, and the last three years the elevators have become progressively more of an issue. this year by late sat. people were avoiding the upper floors of the tower. this meant limited press coverage etc. I've heard of some people who were trapped in those elevators for almost an hour! many of us in this forum know that when an electrical motor is overworked it never comes back to full power and each time it's capacity is diminished. my hope is that the hotel will replace the motors with a higher rating and next year people will have quick easy access to the upper floors.in any event I will likely look at a different room in another part of the hotel, I feel like it is time for a change. also I am planning on doing more shows around the country ( already good for Newport Beach, and am considering Wash. DC) any suggestions????thanks, lou
Yes, I heard them in the DC show. I liked them a lot but thought they are butt ugly. They are in a completely different league from the Sjoens. The Sjoens are small bookshelf type monitors, designed to be close to the back wall.
(the clue) put out a lot more bass than I thought a small speaker should be capable of. I was impressed. The speakers had a wide soundstage too. A more detailed review based on a short audition in a hotel room would be impossible.Wayne
My understanding is the (the clue)'s price is steady at $999. Sjofn HiFi decided not to jack the price up after last year's RMAF.
yes, per my link above, you can order direct from sjofn for $999.doug s.
Yes, I heard them in the DC show. I liked them a lot but thought they are butt ugly.
butt ugly? they look like almost any other two-way monitor, to me. except, of course my beautiful ebony proac tablette reference 8 signatures! seriously, the sam1's are only ~2" taller/wider/deeper than the sjofn speakers. yes, i know the sjofn's are designed to be placed against a wall. that would be a non-starter for me, tho i know for many it is what makes them attractive...thanks,doug s.
That isn't the speaker I was thinking of when I made my comment. It was a speaker with 2 different sized baffles and no cabinet. Sorry for my confusion.
