Yes, I only have 9 foot ceilings. I sure am anticipating how the Extreme SE’s are going to sound.

Both the Forza and X Diamonds driven by either the VAC 300 monos or my big Pilium SS check all the the sonic boxes for me.

I am particularly impressed by how full bodied both of these models sound but at the same time excel in the clarity and micro resolution areas.

Both models throw a wal to wall soundstage with excellent layering if it is on the recording.

The main attraction of these two models (Forz/X Diamonds) is that I find them VERY exciting to listen to. They light up the room vs. just providing a nice sonic presentation.

Edit- Now I am used to the two models that I have but when I first received them a few months ago I was startled with the presence of the upper midrange and high frequencies. Now I guess I refer to it as being exciting to listen to. It definitely has to do with the these upper frequencies and the overall presence that they deliver.

…and the Extreme model has a couple very nifty features: (1) the entire upper section is on a motorized track with ~11 inches of adjustability up/down. So if you’ve got high ceilings Alfred has considered this. (2) the tweeter also has several mm of adjustment fore/aft. These adjustments are tunable remotely from the listening chair.

That’s a very tidy system and a good looking room. Looks like it is they are still working on lighting other finishing touches. Are there any acoustic treatments behind the listening position? Do you know the approximate dimensions? Thanks

 

Yes, the room is a developing story. The ceiling is 10.6’ x 18.5’ x 26’

Not sure about the back wall.

Look forward to reading it...this looks like Robert Harley's room?

Just installed yesterday/today. Guess would be in about 60 days, but it's just a guess.

Edit, I found out the M' review will come out in early October.

 

Thank you!
