MEH Synergy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I won't speak for Jerry, but my thoughts on them quickly are very tight and punchy bass that extends surprisingly deep, silky non fatiguing highs even at high volumes that are very detailed and excellent imaging. I FINALLY found the right pair of speakers for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Dynamics are nutty. The 510s are Def the little horns that could. Vocals are fleshed out very nicely for a two way. Very easy to hear into the music without critically listening. I've always been more of a fan of 3 ways in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 You certainly have been going through a lot of tubes lately. If I ever convert to that side again, I know who to contact for some killer deals 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Brent Jesse is certainly the man... not the cheapest, but certainly one of the best. Did you spring for the guarantee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever convert to that side again, I know who to contact for some killer deals [emoji16]I've learned one thing lately.....stick with NOS. The cheap new production tubes I've tried blow. Except for the ones made in China at the Shugyang plant.....the Psvane Treasure Series. Those tubes have really proven themselves as far as sound quality goes.

I FINALLY found the right pair of speakers for me. Don't blame you at all, they are a great speaker, had a chance to listen to them for weeks in Arkansas in a huge building, we would crank them up at night. No matter the volume they sounded great, even low they have detail, louder and the bass is surprising and tight. It's the one model we don't have here that I would want, I did have a chance to get some but couldn't figure out where I could put or use them so I passed. If I could only have one set of speakers on the small side it would be the 396's easily. When Roy was first designing them he used them for a Pilgrimage, this was playing into a huge park with a few baseball fields next to each other it filled the whole park..........there were a few subs used also, 12. There may have been a few changes to the model since before going into production but the basic idea was done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'm looking forward to one of my buddies gigs where I can bring the 396s and actually use them to their full potential. I can tell they will be damn impressive. If you think they sound good at reasonable volumes, they get exponentially better the louder they play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we have the Pilgrimages in AR at Rodneys clubhouse it's a big metal building with roll-up doors on each end. At the time he lived on the other side of the property about a mile away and he would leave to go to sleep around 1-2am, after he left we would change the music and crank it up even more, we would have the walls shaking. More than once the cows would all come out of the fields to see what was going on, it was funny. Once he came back because he forgot something and we just left it playing, he had a giant smile when he walked in, he loved it when people had a good time there. We spent over 10 weeks there one summer with different trips, I got to hear them alot, I know how good they are, very cool speaker especially for a small footprint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH I think it was, it was the time it was crazy hot, almost no one came out to the park until late evening. It was the year Trey set up that huge tent thing for shade with fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 very cool speaker especially for a small footprint. This is the MAIN reason why I bought them. Best speaker I could buy in the smallest footprint, highest SQ and SPL and lowest price. I don't even have the ability to pair them with subs yet and I'm still thoroughly impressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted November 21, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 21, 2018 Don't blame you, good choice, the more I listened to them the more I was impressed. Sube are just extra, they have surprising bass on there own, very tight and no shortage of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
