I'll be making a "trek" down to David's at some point soon to hear these stellar examples of beautiful form and what I imagine to be striking function :)
I'm super excited to have them! I'll be posting pics here when the system is up and ready. Welcome to have you join in the listening fun! Was able to pry Bob's unubtainium 4 watt Audio Note 2a3 silver wound transformer amp out of his hands to mate them with. : )

I just placed an order for the Rhapsody.Audio Brooklyn location, with Lorenzo Audio Labs for a pair of LM-3s, in Walnut Root finish, to go along with the incoming (February) LM-1s. Looking forward to the two way 94db efficient LM-3s with low power 2A3 Triode Lab amps as well as 211 and 300B Kondo amps.

Heretic Loudspeakers AD612 just arrived at Rhapsody.Audio Brooklyn. I have heard that they need a LOT of break in so I was not expecting much out of the box. I have them connected to a Devialet 440 to let them run 24/7 for a few weeks. The AD612's are 97db efficient and I plan on running them with Triode lab 45/2A3/300B 2.5V amps.

A nice $10K Triode lab 2A3 integrated and a pair of these $10K Heretic speakers plus source will offer a compelling offering that doesn't break the bank.

Out of the box with the Devialet I am surprised how well they image and how full bodied they sound. Me like.

Great looking (and sounds like, sounding) system, Bob! Also, I really like the painting above the speaker on the viewer's right. Who's work is that?

Yes, they are definitely cool speakers. Funny the wall art is from GIK acoustics. I sent them some "free" art files I found on the internet and they cover the GIK panels with the sent files. I think I have 10 of them:)

Triode Labs 45 mono block RSR amps (4 watts/channel) being prepared to ship to their new home at Rhapsody.Audio - Brooklyn. The 45 RSR's as well as a pair of 2A3/300B 2.5V (interchangeable) amps that will be following the 45 RSRs in a few weeks will be driving Odeon, Diesis, Lorenzo and Heretic speakers.

Fantastic classic look to these speakers! Just beautiful. Design can go some really interesting directions in this hobby, from gantry cranes to giant bugle horns and everything in between -- so it is really nice to see classic, timeless looks perfectly executed. I can’t wait to hear them — if the sonics match the looks then WOW!

Happy to announce I’ve ordered a Triode Labs 45EVO integrated amp, and a pair of Heretic 612s for the PNW Rhapsody showroom. The Heretics and the Diesis are very high efficiency speakers so adding a flea watt SET should be a lot of fun!

You are rising so rapidly through the forum ranks - from Wilson Alexias to flea watt SETs.

Thanks Ked (I think). I’m not sure I like term “rank” as it implies a positional hierarchy one over another. I am but a simple man on a journey of discovery so in that regard exploring new horizons hoping to share with others what I find. (Unless it sucks!)
