Macca's Lash Up 2: Lash Harder

Know what you mean... I,m getting big sound at moment pretty effortlessly. Wondering how i will handle the smaller singles? Mind you they are as sweet as a nut so may be ok, if i ever do lol. Im spoilt for choice tbh, and short of space now. Got 5 sets of good speakers now.. All built or refurbed by myself, and i like them all in their own ways.
Fortunately in some ways, they are not popular these days, so no-one would pay me enough to sell.

Ah... I was wondering why there was a table in the middle of your living room :)

Yes you are spoiled for choice mate . I also liked the big standmounts you have . Lovely sound in your room.

Some good pictures of the MC120.2 speakers here on Beoworld, shows the internals and crossovers:

Playing some Tom Petty at the moment, sounds good enough to keep distracting me from what I'm supposed to be doing.

Nice pics. I remember those now Martin. Look nice enough but as you say, not big enough for you ... Think you may be on to something with nearer field listening though for much of your listening. Just maybe bigger speakers with a wider soundstage.

Telefunkens mate . I haven't heard the Celestions ( I don't think )

youve heard them with the Sony amp, but a while ago. 12" drivers... not too bad either really. Kinda forgot about the Sony amp til now. Its in the cupboard unloved at moment lol.
still to try it with the new speakers as Martin suggested.


So Martin, have you cleaned those xovers, or did the couch make you a proposition ;)

I've not done it. Got distracted, now it's after teatime and beer o'clock. Maybe next weekend. Having plenty of fun with the B&O speakers at the moment. A change is as good as a rest, so they say.

Got rid of the extreme toe in on these speeks, gone for almost none at all. Much better again. Smoother and less exposed, wider sweet spot, better soundstaging.

Never liked toe-in much on any speaker I've owned, these seem to be no exception. Indeed they are not exceptional in any area, just competent all-rounders. Good bass tone, but electric guitars are not quite right - or not what I'm used to them sounding like anyway. A minor criticism though. These were allegedly the sweet spot in the range, but I'd like a try of the big 'un at the top of the range. Probably very rare.

Near-field listening ain't too shabby, eh? ;)

Anyway, fire-up yer lazy arse, daftee, and get those crossovers done! :)

Marco.
