New DAC. Had to try a Klein. Also had to make it Black and Gold to match the amps!! ???.  Much thanks to @pete_mac it’s in fantastic condition. Now just waiting on the new Bluesound to hear it all. 

So you bought it?

You did well , but I wasn’t really looking .

But an excellent unit.

Feel free to bring it around for a comparo.

You’ll find it’ll probably pip my old dac.

I get shocking headaches from all alcohol these days... went from a heavyweight to a lightweight very quickly.  

Happens to the best of us!!

Well the Monos are sleeping but there  have been some new editions. 

Not much room left now. ?

How do they sound compared to the Jbl’s? 

A lot better or close call? 

A lot better than the JBL. They go very deep. 

I’m not sure you could push them as hard as the JBL though. I think the mid and top would give out first. 

They are very very easy to listen to though. I’ve played everything From Dean Martin to Tools new album and been impressed. 

I’m going to try some different types of amps and see what happens. 

Good stuff! Looks great!

In case I missed it, which amps are you using?

May have something to do with amp giving out?

The ME850 isn’t giving out by a long shot. It’s plenty powerful. I’m just wary of pushing the Osborn’s too hard. 

We don’t all have 40mm long throw subs and 8000w lol 

Mk4 Epitome so the drivers have improved since. The Focal TC120k is a very good world renowned tweeter.

Thanks mate. There was a bit of apprehension from the Mrs but she’s fine with it. 

Yes I moved the VPI to test the Sony I lent to @joz. Just haven’t been bothered to place it back.

I’d actually love to try an MF M6 or M5 if anyone has one they want to lend or bring over. 

Wall of speakers....love it!

 

Ive often thought that if I ever owned a pair (quad) of these id try flipping the bass bins upside down and placing on top of the speaker creating a tower of power ?

That's interesting. I realised my system doesn't even start to really work until around 90dB last Sunday arvo  (JBL 4367)

 

Osborns are beautiful speakers and excellent value for the moola.

That's exactly what Osborn has done with his towers.

If you have a pre I could bring over my Elektra Ref HD for a quick blast.

Well I could bring over the Phynx too I suppose

I did mention this to John when I picked them up! Might be fun.

Yeah I find JBLs really shine when they are given some grunt. I’m just a bit shy to push these as Greg’s documentation says to be careful when using high wattage.

90db? That must be for background listening. Your not rocking until your hitting peaks of 110.

Having a bit of fun today and hooked up the Marantz 2225 to the NS-1000m. Nice sweet little combo.

Well it just so happens that there is a good pair up for sale at the moment !!  

When I saw them last they looked to be in really good condition and Yamaha_man is a straight shooter.

 

 

 

Sorry for sidetracking your thread a bit @jakeyb77....

Your NS-1000s look like they have come up really nice.

I agree with @kelossus they definitely look the goods !!
