Yes, exactly, more depth -- which, to my ears, contributes to more realistic soundstage.
A major reason I thought Todd's Avantgarde system sounded so amazing was because of the soundstage depth developing behind the plane of the Trios -- about 12 feet in front of the front wall.
Then not worth the bother!
Putting spiked feet on speakers that heavy is a very impressive implementation of high-end audio perfectionism!
Ron,
Originally, I tried the Minuet's all over the room. The present location, to me, sounds the best overall. That is, soundstage, depth and bass quality.
After determining that, then I installed the Gaia Titan footers and spikes.

“All of which leaves me pondering the two-way Clarysis Studio. Smaller, lighter, capable of active operation; maybe, just maybe…” Roy GregoryHi guys,

I briefly heard Jadis on Clarisys when I had the speakers in front of the Pendragons for the first three days after the Clarisys speakers were set up.
The Clarisys speakers have been positioned in front of the kitchen wall for the last few weeks. Just now I moved the JA100s over from the Pendragon system to the Clarisys system.

You think? Okay!
I don't hear a difference. I have them there just to promote good sonic juju!
Just read this. Congratulations Ron! Wish you much success with this venture. Also, it was a pleasure meeting you at SWAF.
Nice one Ron, congrats matey!
Wish you all the very best in this multi-layered venture.
I visited Spore last July and again heading out that way this Aug with the wifey on route to cmb. Sadly didn't come across any of the Clarisys line, and we still don't have any here either in Aus.
I'm thinking it's most probably due to our very tiny market in Audiophile ville... and in Aus, as we're grappling with our currency conversion, even the smallest Clarisys speakers, the Minuet, will cost North of 70grand! (AUD). That's an awful lot of spend, especially when most are trying their best to own a house.
Apart from that, we also have our very own Apogee refurb specialist, Graz! Graz offers exceptional rebuild quality on all his ribbon panels and I've had the pleasure of auditioning some of the top tier panels, they're superb! Pricing is very different, there's no comparison with Clarisys at all, not even Alsyvox. Hence, only a handful of Alsyvox have sold down unda. It's certainly still worthwhile an audition and good to know such SOTA panels exist but it costs us a bloody fortune! We pay nearly double.
So, I guess us humble folk Down Unda most probably would never get the chance to audition these exotic panels. Anyway, since we still have our refurbs going pretty strong, it's always an opportunity to be able to listen to a fully restored Apogee system, such as the Diva's.
Oh! BTW just a slight off track... when I was last in Spore, I had the opportunity of auditioning the Diptyque panels (French design) with those same Jadis amplifiers you have, really really tops!
On this trip I'll get the chance to experience their top of the line Reference series the DP-160. When I first experienced the DP107 and DP140, I knew straight away now here's something quite unique. Price range not too shabby either.
Now, the hardest part is convincing the wifey to sit still during the demo... she usually rolls her eyes and then let's out a bit of gas, after learning about the price tag and then walks out. Damn! I'll have to make sure that dealer hands over some roses or a nice scented candle with lullaby tunes... then all is well. Good stuff maties! Keep those tubes glowing!
Cheers Ron, and all the best again.
Keep us posted on your new venture/s.
Woof! RJ

Ron hasn't replied yet... too busy packing up those Gryphon Pendragon's
Those are the Studio Plus, and the Auditorium's are supposed to be even superior. Yep, definitely the Pendragon's are being packed away slowly ....
Cheers, RJ

Yesterday, with the assistance of Angus Leung of WestminsterLab, I slid the Pendragon ribbon panels out of the way, and I moved the Clarisys speakers from in front of the left side wall by the kitchen to the proper speaker position where the Pendragon ribbon panels used to be.
