Hi WBF,
Is anyone familiar with an audio dealer named Audio Retreat? I am contemplating a purchase but am not familiar with the company. They appear to be located in the UK. A google search of the address shows a storage company. Has anyone done business with this company?
Hugh, thanks for sharing your project and the journey. i Have no doubt the system sounds spectacular. It’s been fun to watch and learn as you progressed.
He was the best announcer. (period). Always entertaining with a keen understanding of the game and when to actually speak so it added value and not just filling air time.
These are great comments and very helpful to those of us that have not added grounding devices yet. I wonder if anyone can add commentary and/or comparison to the CAD boxes?
Interesting discussion comparing JL and Wilson. Both top brands. IME I moved from a JL Gotham to Wilson Thor. Both powerful in their own way. My mains are Wilson and the Thor(s) simply integrated better. More of the same cloth sonically if you will.
Hi Lloyd, great write up. As always you’re able to convey the experiences very well. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Kodas add a visual beauty as well. nice to see a variation of the big black box amplifier.
Big congratulations to you.
These threads which go to the heart of what I personally am trying to acheive, musical engagement, are very interesting. Thank you for taking time to provide your insights!
What is tonal density?
I read it often and not quite sure I grasp what it is meant with this description .
Hi Lloyd,
Congratulations! Very exciting to see how the Kodas are performing In your system. You are a dedicated audiophile for sure. Dedicated to the best musical performance possible. Thanks for sharing the journey. I continue to learn from you and others here. Great stuff!
Hi John,
congrats on the new speakers. They look great. See you’ve made some other changes to including moving your rack to the side and stands for the HD amps. looking Forward to your impressions as the break in.
Well that’s a shame. i know you want to sort these questions out within your setup.
i have a few months and intend to keep exploring this area. Will be great to hear your results when you do find an electrician.
I saw RUSH in Phoenix 1979- great show, of course. Took my wife to see them in Austin on their Clockwork Angels tour. They sounded as good and strong as ever.
The article was good. A bit sad that Neil was never truly comfortable in the public eye. The Netflix movie on their history is...
Hi Peter,
im curious, did you do further experiments on your power setup?
I am prepping to build a new room and am considering power setup options. I have some previous experience where I ran dedicated lines (10awg, solid core, twisted pair, isolated ground, steel conduit) in my last room...
Hi John,
would love to trade visits but it’s a little more difficult now. We relocated to Central OR. (Bend, OR). if you’re in the area, absolutely let me know.
We’re in the midst of designing/building a home and super excited about building a new Audio Room. Taking what I learned last...
thanks for posting the pic. That helps a lot.
will be interested to hear how this damping evolives.
have you tried different ”footers” under the speakers?
I found Ultra 5s work well on XLF. I didn’t like them under my X2’s. In that case they took away some of the dynamic punch...
