Telecine Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Very nice Lebowski, hope that you are enjoying them.

Saxon Hall Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Full description please. BTW when are you putting your Yammy speakers in the FS section?
strony Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 congrat's Mark - well done mate Merry Xmas to you and yours Cheers AS
lebowski Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 What's all the other stuff do Mark No idea Glen. I plugged a heap of cables in and then sound came out of the big wooden boxes 2
lebowski Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Full description please. BTW when are you putting your Yammy speakers in the FS section? WLM Diva Monitors and WLM control unit. The Bakoon 11R Amp with separate Power Supply is on loan from Audio Addiction in Brisbane and I should of listened to JD's advice ... only listen to gear you can afford. I ended up selling the NS-200Ma as I preferred the sound of the Usher S-520's Edited December 26, 2012 by lebowski
lebowski Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 What's all the other stuff do Mark The WLM Diva Control connects between source and Amp, it allows fine tuning of bass to suit room and personal taste.
gat474 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Nice gear Mark. Every time I randomly plug wires in I break somethiing. Do the new speaks need a break in period?
Ace_Beef Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Absolutely drool worthy. That Bakoon amp is gorgeous, would love to see and hear one in the flesh. Carved from a solid piece of aluminum too if I recall and oddly almost the exact same dimensions of the mac mini. Odd since they came out at around the same time from completely separate design philosophies
Dasher Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Christmas eve, you don't get better timing than that, perfect. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Krispy Audio Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Do the new speaks need a break in period? 1000hrs on these puppies - get cranking!!
lebowski Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 Nice gear Mark. Every time I randomly plug wires in I break somethiing. Do the new speaks need a break in period? Apparently they do. Sound good straight out of the box but improve with plenty of hours on them. Would you like to drop by for a listen? 1
lebowski Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 1000hrs on these puppies - get cranking!! Whoa, that is gonna take some time.
Krispy Audio Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Lol definitely. For me they're not bad at say 150hrs, but they just get sweeter from there. They're absolutely superb once run in though, well done on them.
gat474 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Apparently they do. Sound good straight out of the box but improve with plenty of hours on them. Would you like to drop by for a listen? Absolutely, will send you a pm.
Phantom Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 1000hrs on these puppies - get cranking!! Sorry but thousand hour burn in in time on any speakers would be the ultimate deal breaker for me. Anyway, enjoy the speakers and the nice looking amplifier too
lebowski Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 congrat's Mark - well done mate Merry Xmas to you and yours Cheers AS Thanks mate. How are your adventures in hi-fi? And a merry one to you and Mrs S also

Anyway, enjoy the speakers and the nice looking amplifier too Does seem a lot but I can tell you they sure aren't difficult to listen to from zero hours : )
Phantom Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 That's excellent Llebowski. Everything looks absolutely peachy and I bet it sounds as good as it looks. BTW, what is the veneer on the speakers?, it looks very cool. All the best with it mate.
Pops110 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Sweet, the divas look awesome would love to hear them some day. Don't forget to post your thoughts on the Bakoon. I have the Japanese Bakoon 15 watter, it blows me away that it can sound so good being such a small unit and such low power. Cheers Dave. Edited December 26, 2012 by Pops110 1

BTW, what is the veneer on the speakers?, it looks very cool. All the best with it mate. It's Makasser. Not normally available on the Diva, it was a custom order. Will get some better pics uploaded later this week.

I have the Japanese Bakoon 15 watter, it blows me away that it can sound so good being such a small unit and such low power. Cheers Dave. It sure is a stunning little Amp in both looks and sound. Beautiful sound as you say from only 15 watts, everything sounds just right.
strony Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Thanks mate. How are your adventures in hi-fi? And a merry one to you and Mrs S also Oh I had a wee sojourn for a few months: was getting a little obsessional again - currently enjoying a Bottlehead SEX amp and either a pair HD 650's or Blumenstein Orcas...with a borrowed P3 & phono (thanks Danter!) and LOTS of vinyl. Not a patch on the WTL Simplex (will buy another shortly) - but it is free and a loaner. Thanks - Mrs S is tucked up on the couch while we listen to some Sibelius. Very nice. Mango smoothies (with a dash of vodka to cheer things up) in hand ha ha. BTW I heard the Diva's years ago and thought they were lovely - like the Bakoons... Edited December 26, 2012 by Hoppy
