OK, some of you may me argue- well some not but I’ve shanked by Focal Sopra 2s for Spendor 9.2s! Not here, they sound fabulous and have visually caused happiness with wife and family who never liked the black curl6 giants…!
You’ll hive to excuse my post dinner wine typing too!
Have - arrgh!
Glad you fixed that second one - I was about to recommend an antihistamine for you!
Good thinking - I have some by the bed!
May I ask what those speakers are?
Hi,
the speakers are Ascendo c8-c.
WAF = 0, I imagine…
Hi,
what do you mean by WAF?
Wife’s Access Factor ;-))
Wife Acceptance Factor. My wife would through 7 kinds of fit with the cables on the floor, and the speakers so far away from the wall. Mind you, any hifi larger than a transistor radio is not great in her view.
I have to laugh, that is exactly what I thought you would say.
I have my own room for that.
As long as it’s covered in oak or cherry! At least she had a HiFi mad father - I tend to blame him!
You lucky, lucky person.
Bizarre isn’t it? All we want is our speakers just a few inches out and a cable from each to the amp. Not much to ask you’d think, but no, it’s akin to covering the walls in excrement given the level of disapproval offered up in exclamation at the ‘mess’ created.
However, 14 candles, some lit once, the rest remaining virginal, scattered around the room; curtains draped onto the floor which are never drawn (we have blinds); a four foot square fireplace we never use (but is a ‘feature’) and a massive f…k off Christmas tree which is so big we have to edge around it gingerly to get to the dining table are all absolutely fine it seems.
When we watch I drama or film I comment on the decor in the background or how nice the actors jumper or hair is… Of course I have no interest in them at all but we live on different planets from our partners in many ways
Hi Jogo, out of curiosity are your rear wall murals inspired by the works of the Israeli artist David Gerstein? ATB Peter
All you need for Christmas is a dedicated listening room Jamie ATB Peter
Likes it very much, has a bit of a studio feel.
Always play around a bit, cable exchange, etc.
The loudspeakers themselves are not critical for the installation, because of the monitor characteristics you have a lot of fun in the short distance.
