Still playing with speaker placement and room-treatment placement. Getting there. Elgar cello concerto with Ms Du Pre is sounding great tonight.

How much better are the Western Electric 300 B's that I see you also have ?

Hello -

It was very interesting comparison. There certainly was a difference.

The WE's had more dynamics, a richer mid-range, texture and more of a sense of the voices being "there". I really like the WE's a LOT and had a great connection to them.

BUT - the @PSVANE Horizon series 300B was so good, at 1/7th the price, AND the fact that the difference although definitely there really requires a top notch system and set up, I think a majority of the people would be better served with the Horizon Psvane. There was a much larger difference between the previous gen Psvane's I have on hand and the WE's than the Horizon and the WE's. But there was still clearly a difference I could easily hear.

I really like the WE's for sure and they are my preferred sound. But I think the Psvane's are better for a majority of people as I don't think the average person would see the value in the extra money spent.

Does that help?

I'd be curious to hear the Elrog 300B's someday.

I remember my next door neighbor had a console TV requiring a quarter, as in money $, for a half hour of viewing. No remote, rabbit ears, three network stations, no cable, no remote. Maybe 1956?

Guess the state of the crate shows no mercy approach from the shipping companies

We need to start an own discussion for Tobians and how setup them, which amps to use and so forth

I'm all for that.

I have literally spent DOZNES of hours in set up experimenting with the Tobians both on their own and as I get in room acoustic treatments such as the AGS video I did. Also included in that time is vibration footers experimenting.

I'm sure Golan has LOTS of experience as well he can share with us.
