hsv2kk Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Another gut wrenching test is Valkyrie. Watch the first scene around 4mins in. I didn't realise their was a big bass program in this movie with my old subs. My twin X's tried their hardest to destroy the living room at -6dB. We actually shook skim-coat off the ceiling where they flushed the screws to the gyprock...
Drizt Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Ill pick that up on bluray tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. Another gut wrenching test is Valkyrie.Watch the first scene around 4mins in.

S2 13BT Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Looks great!! Could certainly use a larger TV, although have you considered lowering the TV a little? Seems a little high to me. Sitting on the shelf the PS3 is on would probably work well. Although, thinking about it, it's maybe just an aesthetic thing and therefor highly subjective! Anyway, looks freakin' awesome!! Must sound incredible.
Drizt Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 The TV is at a perfect height for us. We don't have to strain our necks to watch, and works a treat when reclined on the lounge. Thank for the kind words. Looks great!!Could certainly use a larger TV, although have you considered lowering the TV a little? Seems a little high to me.

Paul Spencer Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Dritz, Do you by any chance like black?! Definitely looks the goods. Hiding the cables behind curtains, very good idea! What size is that plasma?
Drizt Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Noted, I will see to hiding the cables Yes, big fan of black Plasma is 50". I'll upgrade when I can get a 70" plasma for under $5k Dritz,Do you by any chance like black?! Definitely looks the goods. Hiding the cables behind curtains, very good idea! What size is that plasma?
turbo56k Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 You can get a projector setup (>70in) for less than 5k right now, why wait:-)
rippingdragon Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Just had my pair dropped off tonight I'm really looking forward to my day off on Friday, going to be listening to A Lot of tunes!
Drizt Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Just had my pair dropped off tonight I'm really looking forward to my day off on Friday, going to be listening to A Lot of tunes! And they are beautiful mate It was fortuitous for me to get a listen to them on their maiden run Have fun and enjoy them mate.
hired goon Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 G'day, Just had my pair dropped off tonight I'm really looking forward to my day off on Friday, going to be listening to A Lot of tunes! Congratulations and welcome to Club CX4F. I've been listening to my pair a lot lately and continue to appreciate them more each day. As much as yer looking forward to all that listening, imagine my despair at having to give them up when I move overseas --Geoff
Guest JohnA Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 congrats rd make sure to take some time out from listening to take a couple of pics
JeffK Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Good onya rd. I'm looking forward to pics and impressions. I'm on a weeks leave ATM now on Brampton island. Have to acess forum via mobile. Nearly missed ur good news. Jeff
jaspert Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Yes to some pics of the new setup and update of your in home impression. Hoping to get mine soon.
k371n Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Congratulations Rahn! Which finish did you go for? I may have missed this in your writeup. Have you moved? cheers k_
rippingdragon Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Thanks for the well wishes guys. Pictures will have to wait. Too busy listening (plus my point and shoot camera is pretty flakey atm) I went for the Bird's Eye Maple finish. And yes I have moved. Still in the city but have a nicer listening room now. Pretty even bass response much to both Drizt's and Stuart's displeasure. Drizt was jealous that my room didn't share the monstorous bass problems his does and Stuart wanted a chance to use some of the smarts he put on the back for handling rooms with problematic bass Tonight's highlight has been Damien Rice - Cold Water off of his O album and I'm now headed back for some more!
Young Skywalker Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Congratulations on the new speakers RD. Looking forward to some photos of them in situ as well as your thoughtful listening impressions in due course. Best Regards, YS
Gee Emm Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Excellent news RD. Good to hear the room suits as well. I hate my room!
Drizt Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Curse you RD *shakes fist* Looking forward to reading your review and look at some more pics of the setup after you have had some time to play with the system. Pretty even bass response much to both Drizt's and Stuart's displeasure. Drizt was jealous that my room didn't share the monstorous bass problems his does and Stuart wanted a chance to use some of the smarts he put on the back for handling rooms with problematic bass !
Sentient Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Congrats RD , sounds like the wait was worth it. I found the appreciation factor grows over time, so maybe give it some running time before a full blown review. Your reviews are among the best on SNA, I cant wait to read it.
adrocks Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Good for you RD. Happy to hear you are very happy with your new speakers. May they give you many years of listening pleasure. cheers adrocks
bigears Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 There is nothing like getting a visit from the Ralstons. ( all three, bearing gifts). My new speakers are certainly a vision. They are really worth waiting for. It turns out my room has a standing wave which cancels lower frequencies @ 100cycles. Nothing a bass trap won't fix. The sound overall is still excellent. I will do a futher reveiw once I fix up the room. In the mean time enjoy the pics...[ATTACH=CONFIG]21139[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]21140[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]21138[/ATTACH]
Drizt Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Congrats on the new toys mate May they bring you much joy.
Guest JohnA Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 congrats bigears. Nice room and love those ikea shelves. 100Hz issue shouldn't be too hard to correct, mind you if you aren't hearing it and cannot tell, who cares
