I suppose 270 if you go in the other direction but surely you din't when you moved them.? And what are they building in your view? or are you building?

I love the (visual) transparency of the speakers. I reckon this an underused opportunity for the marketing of electrostats But gosh, I hope that’s not a high-rise going up in front of your window?

They sound very good. Open the louvres or drop the blinds and it gets even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll still see the trees over their roofline but yeah, not as nice as we had previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say the glass couldn’t be good for it but it sounds very nice to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate... an Op Shop find many years ago. Made from 2 X 1 inch angle, with a small metal platform on top. I've added a larger, DIY, MDF platform, bolted on top. Cut down sections of Whites pads between speaker and platform... and between stand and garden paver. I'm thinking of getting some made up, with slight change in height. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzzFuzzz Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 No matter how many speakers I remove from the room, the space quickly fills up again... and I'm running out of room. The EV's... Richter Dragons... and Technics SB-1950, with Sony woofers. Currently my selected tracks folder on the media player 3.5 out into RCA on the Technics SU-7200 amp, through modified Richter Dragons, using a very basic, inductor, 2 capacitor, temporary xover. The Technics amp has just been serviced by another generous member, with 2 caps replaced. Quite a strong little amp, and hopefully a good match for the Celefs I'm working on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, easy to have half a dozen amps but six pairs of speakers takes up a lot of room and impossible to hide from the wife. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steever Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Spinning some Winwood. Fell in love with BITHL back in the late 80’s on CD when it was a demo in the little High Street shop I worked at in Auckland, NZ. finally grabbed it used on vinyl the other day. Definitely nicer on the black stuff. Edited May 18, 2021 by Winno 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccuTidal Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 @BuzzzFuzzz I really like seeing your egg-trays innovative room treatment. I had also done that before with good acoustic outcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
