Well I see it’s a month since I posted
Since then I have upgraded the external crossovers with better caps especially on the supertweeter
This has made a big difference
To be honest the sound I am getting now is superb both on vinyl and digital
I find I am pouring through my vinyl collection
It has also allowed me to much better fine tune my turntable set ups and cartridges and feel I am wring the most out of them all
One thing that has surprised me is the wonderful soundstage depth and air on top of real life timbre I am getting, I thought horns didn’t image well, but these are superb
The ability to differentiate woodwind and different strings instruments makes both string quartets and large orchestral lps truly spell binding
A Janos Starker mono of Bach cell suite No 4 I listened through multiple times revelling in the tone micro detail and air of the performance plus supreme artistry, his instrument sounding warm, organic and stable with wonderful air and breath
The 16 altec woofer is a killer, both in depth, speed, timbre and ability to separate cello from double bass, and different drums, timpani from double bass, tuba from bass trombone
It is by far the best speaker I have personally heard only the Veyron Khamas match it, at 100x the price
The ASR amplifiers seem an incredible match with these speakers
