I mentioned a couple of sites where you can get some ongoing feedback on my product on everything from Dynaudio Confidence C4’s to small bookshelf speakers and a bunch in between to include some Epos. I would like to encourage you guys who might be sitting on the fence or are disbelievers to visit the site and read what your cousins are saying: stereo.net.au/speakers and sub woofers/Protecting Time and Phase
Here is a copy of a personal message sent to me by a member just today:
Jim,
What can I say? I hope you are not a speaker builder. Because as a consequence of your speaker surrounds, I cannot envisage changing my speakers for a long , long time. Yes, they are that good.
The tweeter surrounds arrived yesterday afternoon, and I brought them straight inside and fitted them to my Acoustic Energy AE1 speakers. Immediately I noticed a reduction in the sibilance which is evident at times from my system. Well, reduction is the wrong word – the sibilance was gone. The top end was now very smooth, akin to swapping from a solid state amp to a valve amp (I use a Marantz SR-18 Reference Series receiver) . I then played a number of my favourite recordings. Was I imagining things? Play a few more CD’s. Before I realised it, I had played about 12 CD’s. And the difference was clear. Instruments were far better focussed than before. Each instrument was clearly separated and clearly located in the soundstage. Snares and cymbals in particular were very enjoyable and distinct whereas before they were more of a background ‘noise’. I was hearing chord changes on guitar work as the guitarist moved his fingers, where I had never heard them before. And, one of the most amazing things of all, in CD’s I had heard hundreds of times, I was hearing instruments I had never heard before. Most of all I was hearing more music and enjoying it more.
If I had heard my speakers with and without the tweeter surrounds in a blind testing, the difference would be clear and I would have been willing to pay the hundreds of dollars to upgrade to the ‘superior model’. Fortunately, Jim, you have charged me only $50 for this major upgrade. This is the best $50 anyone can spend on their system. Before even contemplating an upgrade they should try these tweeter surrounds. The upgrade, like mine, may not be needed.
Thanks

I don't have anything to add to that except that your price is lower than that for a little longer. I want for you guys to get interested in my little passion. I think it's in your interest. I'll gladly answer any questions you may have.
