Happy happy happy

Just got delivery of my new Boenicke w8se, replaced Avalon ideas.
I’m a very luck, happy man. Ten minute in on radio 6 Neil Young came on. Usually like, but more in admiration than love, thirty second in thought need more volume.
Not because weak but as sound was so live and full of energy, it demanded attention. Yesssss.
Let’s hope this love affair lasts, I tend to keep stuff, esp speakers a while, 5 to ten years, these will last.

They look very nice and are reported as one of the finest speakers at their price so they should sound pretty awesome. Happy listening Laurie.

have these got a side bass driver?

Love it when a plan comes together. You have some cracking kit there Laurie.

Looks like the speakers fit in well regarding performance level and aesthetics alike. Always surprised at the quality of broadcasts, they can best your own media on occasion.

They look like toys compared to the Avalon’s , and they look small compared to merlins.
I’ve heard the W 5se several times so I knew the house sound, saw these online at a good price, came with very good trade in came at just right time.
Side firing bass 6in driver pointed out at moment, mine are not brand new, but made this year, not sure of hours done but have read take time to settle In, at least 3\4 days.
Even fresh they torch Avalon’s, they do all things that frustrated me with ideas .
Avalon’s image between and behind the speakers with guitar and bassist at Foot of speaker base, singer is 3ft behind in a strange horseshoe way. Doesn’t reach out and envelope, it’s frustrating. Also tonality has blossomed, instruments sound rounded and rich. Ideas were dry and controlled, you admired but didn’t love. Now my vitus sia 025 can sing, it sounded aneamic and sterile, been driving me nuts for 3 years.
I was also using Entreq mains and hfc cables which were not ideal and strangled potential. Now kondo on mains, and until can afford the kondo signal wires to match, dnm on signal and speakers, the dnm cables are awesome for the money, real overachievers. Total loom of dnm cheaper than a single oyaide schuko plug I fitted to kondo avocados. I’m fussy and dnm never fail to make music.
Just going to give elite audio a call to say wow and get advice on use and run in. They have been charming and helpful at each stage.
If they sound this good after system cold for a month things are going to get scary good.

Pics to show scale, that’s a 2litre bottle prob 14in high.
Side view of bass driver, and rear view of ‘ambient’ tweeter.
Build is awesome, just liked you imagine a solid walnut cabinet,should look.

Very nice! They look superb, I imagine they sound quite nice with the Vitus! Love your Brinkmann’s too, you have a great setup there, enjoy!
