That's an impressive setup! Are the OB white speakers playing? How long did it take you to create this system?View attachment 96538

It is a hybrid between Scaena 3.2 and Altec a7.
I set it up two months ago.
Thanks for your compliment
What is your opinion on the jacket of album?
I guess the sound is super impressive with a large scale! Two months is, on the faster side for a setup like this. Why this particular choice?
About the album, well it is more hippy than provocative in my opinion

I was happy with bi amped Altec A7 using active cross over augmented by two 18 inch Scaena subwoofers from 56 hz down.
When I set up Scaena 3.2 main tower, I used the existing set up to replace Altec a7 treble horn with main tower of Scaena.
But it wored wonder.
Scaena main tower give very wide and deep 3 d soundstage while Altec basshorn give very powerful bass.
Cool! Did you do any matching between Altecs and Scaena, or did they just fall in proper from the get go?
So that's it? End of the search, or is there something else you want to improve in your setup?Just fall in love with each other.
They are connected through active analog crossover (Nelson desinged Pap C1 also I have Accuphase F25).
Currently I am happy with 290hz crossover point, but I may try other frequency later.
Papa Nelson makes some amazing stuff. Are you tuning by ear, or with a microphone?
I had switched from Pap C1 to Accuphase F25 for croosover.
It sounds more weighty and full bodied through F25 while it sounds detailed through Pap C1.
I prefer the sound from F25.
I agree that Accuphase puts something unique into the sound. I like their products a lot. So, what's the next step for you?
I am comparing between Nelson designed Pap C1 and Accuphase F25.
While F25 give more refined sound, Pap C1 give more transparent sound.
Thus I may go back and forth between them depending on my mood.

I had received FB 290 board for F25.
Although Pap C1 sounds fresh and transparent, it is no match with F25 in overall musicality.
My tip when you want a mix pap and accuphase look here, ok expensive tube xover.
A friend have that in his 4 way active horn system.
P.S they made amazing preamps with phono or dsd dac too
