Finally got around to having my ear impressions done for the K10 SLA! Likely get the K10 back after the holidays but still better than waiting two months for the regular customs.

Still kind of wish I went for a personalized design but it's all about the sound right?!

It's definitely a tough choice! I struggled with the same question for about a month and decided that at that price point, get something you'll try be happy with. For me it was sounds as priority #1 then aesthetics. I decided on Wizard reprints which was a compromise but really happy with them!
 
I sympathize with your dilemma!

We'll see how I like them..... Might get a personalized set (re-shell?) later on....:wink_face:

Dr. Moulton's work is a piece of art!

At a quick glance it looks like the window crushed the Wicked Witch of the East!

So that's where those ruby slippers came from!

I did throw in a twist though! I get reprints but had the Noble crown added which the original reprints didn't have.
In essence, I got a one of a kind at a price point I could afford!

Nope, its about look at these, they cost $2300.

@mscott58 1.Love the cooling 

 2. Didn't miss the squeezebox touch (it is still my main transport) 3. What are the speakers?
 
About the speakers on the porch thing.. Well duhh, they obviously won't fit through those doors

Where's Middle Earth exactly? I wanna hang with you.

Next time you come to Arkansas look me up and we can have a cold one over some tunes

My man cave / 2-channel rig.



Had to add the vent hoods for the summer due to the 600w of heat given off across the 24 tubes! It's nice in the winter though.

Cheers

Nice MS58, love the treatments and attention to setup. Can make all the difference in the world

I was very fortunate to have the wife allow me the entire attic as my space and I can't tell you how good the acoustics turned out to be with gabled ceilings, end to end carpet 20' X 34' dimensions

I actually have two separate rigs setup. Main rig is BAT based with B&W Nautilus 804's and a second dedicated to live recordings with flea (10WPC is flea to me) power on Klipsch LaScala's. It's all old now as I got most of it pre wife

That shot was from the listeners positions so I'll show the goods since you were kind enough to display your sweet setup

These shots are not of the highest quality

 

 
 


I upgraded the table from the Debut Carbon in this photo to a Rega RP-1, far superior table to the Project IMHO

Dulty - Thanks! Yeah, I was very lucky I set the unit up so near to the window and that my engineering training/MacGyver-like DNA allowed me to rig up the vent fan. 
 
The SBTouch works pretty well, and mine has the hacked firmware that really helps with the SQ. 
 
The speakers are Merlin TSM-MME's, which are very good monitors, which pair well with the Atmasphere OTL amps, and they are supported by the dual Sunfire Super Jr. subs to help flesh out the lower end. 
 
And the room treatments really help. I DIY'ed those as well, using pieces of IKEA bookshelves, recycled denim insulation, deer-netting and burlap. Ran me about about $20 per panel, and slightly more for the bigger/deeper bass traps. Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" is such a great resource for room-treatments and other tweaks. Kills me how many people don't take the room into consideration.

Well I knew if anyone was going to get 20 drivers in a shell it would be you! Crazy man

I'd like to hear the Noble ones one day

Not only does it run in the family but the passion level seems the same as well

Did the 20 driver sound good or was it just an exercise?

Something tells me they might have fallen short on those beautiful, signature mids.

Well, at least we know the driver war isn't over yet.
