[chris@panteg]

They look amazing , are they hitting the spot ?

[chelsea]

Yes they sound very good and work really well in my room.
Was a bit concerned the room was going to be to small but they are fine.
Very happy with them.

[chris@panteg]

Nice looking system Stu , loving the Voyd ,of course ! That's a Trichord Diablo/NCPSU as well ,what's that valve amp ? I thought you had a 500 series or am I not keeping up with current events ?

[chelsea]

Yes it's a diablo/ncpsu and the amp is tube tech unisis on loan.
Will probable get a AI 300 as i have a 301 coming soon so could do with putting the deck where the amp is.

You seem to have two, huge green flowers sprouting out of the top of a pair of Tannoys, Stu. Is this what happens when they are watered? :D

bloody hell they look great, I only wish I had a room big enough to accept such wonders :(

[wiicrackpot]

Proper nice Stu,

Your rack (the one the Voyd and Unissis is sited on), is it custom made, it'd be great for something similar for my two Garrards. :)

[chelsea]

Bought the rack off ebay.
made by projekt

[realysm42]

Are they a diy job?

Look good.

[chelsea]

Yes,but not by me.
Tannoy grf cabs with le cleach mid and coral m100 mids and h104 tweeters.
Also the 2 big boxes next to the speakers are the xovers.

[Jonboy]

I think i have seen them before somewhere, they sounded very good nice one Stu

[aquapiranha]

Weren't these for sale recently on the wam? They look lovely.

[realysm42]

How comes the x-overs are so huge?

[chelsea]

Not sure why the size but they are granite base and mdf with cherry veneer and good quality componants..

Glad they are so big as my amp will be sitting on one of them soon.


Very nicely done as is the grf cabs.
They were at scalford 2 years ago.

[realysm42]

Fair play. I bet it all sounds wicked either way.

Did you choose the horns for their dynamic sound? I've never heard a pair before.

[chelsea]

I've heard a few pairs over the last few years,
I love the presance and dynamics.
I had a good couple of listen to these on a cople of ocassions and loved the way they play all music so well.

I did have some back loaded horns a few years ago that were stunning on blues,jazz and acoustic but fell apart with indie and anything slightly rocky.

Try and get to a listen to a pair one day.

[chelsea]

And new deck,but now have to get a cheapish 9" arm.
Maybe something like the rega 200 withh detachable headshell.

Beautiful. One day I hope to get into horns :)

[Audio Al]

Hi Stu

That's a beauty. We haven't learned much about record decks in the last 50years have we?

I love the look of your system and I am sure it also sounds awesome There is no doubt that big horns do it differently. It's much more intense experience. I think that it's the way they are able to couple to and drive the air in the room.

The green horns look a bit Avantgarde. What are they?

David :)

[stupinder]

Very nice indeed, Stu.

[chelsea]

The speakers are coral treble,coral mid into le cleach horn and 15" Emminence bass unit in home made tannoy grfs.

[jandl100]

Hey, wow - I've not been keeping up! :doh:

Let's have a reminder ---


http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd493/pilpil2/horns002.jpg?t=1349374036

I kind of picked up some hints that you'd bought these. Well done, Stu, I heard these at Jack's place and was very impressed.
Great immediacy - Jack played a Louis Armstrong LP - and I'll be b*ggered if Ol' Satchmo wasn't standing at the end of the room, singing away. Oh, and the trumpet -- :wowzer:

Congrats, I bet these will be staying a while. :)

[chelsea]

H i jerry,

yes i love them after hearing them at jacks a couple of times.
They will either stay as they are or i'll see if they can be improved tweaked at a later date,by someone who knows what they are doing.

[chelsea]

Looks nice Stu. How does it sound compared to the 301 ?

[chelsea]

Only had a quick play with it mike.
Needs a new belt as speed is slightly out.
With a cheap shure m75 it sounds very promising.
Will have to get a better cart on it and see how it goes.
