Another "it followed me home"
Some of you know I'm a bit of an audio nut and been through many iterations of stereo gear over the years in the music room. Theater is a different story for another time.
Finally jumped in on some speakers that are more than I'd normally spend but they reproduce the best music I've ever heard; and I've heard hundreds of speakers at shows, sound rooms, hobby get-togethers etc. Of course getting great sound, a lot depends on the source material and a plethora of other different things... Due to their weight and not wanting any damage in shipping I drove from PA to IL to pick these up and drive them home. I also got to spend time with the president and chief engineer/designer which was extremely cool. I've met him before at audio shows but never had the time to sit and spend 45 minutes just talking shop. That alone was worth the 12 hour trip out. They are about 6' tall, 288 lbs each, and close to 400 lbs each in their crates. Sound is just pure awesomeness Scott listening to them at the Legacy sound room Guys packing them up to load in my truck. finally got them setup and running room correction software in the DSP This is where the magic happens

those are nice.
As you apparently know... they need somewhat precise distances away from back & side room walls to give their best sound. |

And a custom/dedicated wood shop that I greatly envy
All perspective and what is important to you. On the other hand, if you need help setting up excellent tunes in the work shop, give me a shout. Scott

Of course the basics still apply; don't put them directly against the wall and keep them different distances from sidewalls (prevents comb filtering etc) But between speaker/driver design and the DSP, they took a lot of the room out of the equation. It's amazing technology. Scott

I've not liked a lot of their stuff since Clarion took them over. They still make a well built amp for the most part but their speaker tech is out of date by a good 15 years. There are dozens of speaker manufacturers that far outperform their speakers, and for less money. Not the same company they were in the day. Scott

So are they not using their ribbon tweeter or the aircirc ribbon? That thing was a beauty? The Aeris had 2 right? 1 longer one and one smaller one? |

It really is the star of the upper range. Very accurate without the harshness of Be or other metal style tweets. It's one of the only tweets I've ever heard that can accurately reproduce percussion without the sibilance. No harshness or shrill sounds whatsoever. Scott

That's supposed to be done in the next few weeks. Just waiting on the Moser diff.
All other work is done. Really looking forward to it. Scott
