Thanks Jimmy. It will be good to be back in the desert again. This time, in a much safer environment...thankfully.
Responded.
so what you doing with all the si's? you aint taking all them i know that! if you wanna sell a few let me know. i wanna at least have one thing better than ol carp one day! lol definitely man!! would love to meet some more avs vip guys and the new format here makes you click to follow the thread otherwise it defaults to not sending you a million email. i actually prefer it as i post alot in random threads and really only may have one thing to say but if its a hot topic i wake to 73 emails through the night
Si's are going to be chillin in storage. I have 2 years to design my next space and figure out how I want to incorporate all of my lil' fellas. I've grown so attached, I just can't part ways with them.
You want to beat Carp out? How about this. Dual G-Horns, dual Otho-Horns and a Klipsch Jubilee LCR with the beryllium diaphragm TAD TD-4002 upgrade. You would be untouchable.... Or you could rock some Danley gear for your LCR's. I'm telling you man.... in beast's space, the SH-50's made the Noesis 212HT's seem like a definitive step down (just my opinion).
I am definitely liking the user interface of this forum MUCH better than AVS...especially after that horrendolus update...
Just running them with my AVR Pio Elite SC-57. I had a friend let me borrow this awesome little custom speaker switcher and I was able to INSTANTLY switch between my AVR and an external amp. It made A/B switching about as seamless as one could ever wish for! I was unable to tell the difference between the two...even running them full range, well above reference.
Not trying to start up "the great amp debate" over here, but in my experience, I couldn't tell an audible, or objectively measurable, difference in my RF-7 II's being driven by my 140 watt per channel AVR or my 2,100 watt per channel LG FP10000 Clone amp.
That said, when I was recording that video, I do recall my AVR shutting down and going into protect mode one time...lol. That's the first time it's ever done that...haha.
