Now that you’ve said that, have to agree and share with you that was our conclusion, when we auditioned these a few months back.
Which is just fine. It’s still a get speaker.
I think when you go on a journey and listen to lots of speakers, you kinda discover what sound signature you like, as much about what you don’t like as you do like. We obviously discovered we liked things a bit more punchy, forward and dynamic. With a bit more “up em” in the bass department.
However, the attractive thing about the Super 20A’s is their apparent “accuracy”. They are entirely honest or “transparent”, which many others like.
Having to audition new speakers Nick as my Grandson slipped his minders (His dad and grandma) on Sunday when they came for breakfast and promptly pushed in all the drivers on Mrs Q’s Keilidh’s.
Moved the Ninka’s back to her system and am auditioning new speakers for the Cabin system.
Thanks Nick
As you’ve seen, I have both the Russell K Red 120’s (loaned for Demo by Signals of Felixstowe) and Kudos Super 20A’s (loaned for Demo by Criterion Audio of Oakington, Cambridge) here at the moment.
The Russell K’s were fabulous last night, but the Super 20A’s went in today and I was not so thrilled by them.
Still I have a week to play with them both, so we’ll see.
I hesitate to say this, as I imagine that you have the speakers positioned in the room corners for a reason… but getting them closer together and moving them proud of the hifi racks by a few inches might do a world of good.
The plywood plinth is a giant isolation platform.
It is fixed to the concrete slab beneath the cabin as the cabin is a timber building with a floating floor. The racks are as I like them (discussed at length previously).
I have tried mounting the TT on the wall in the past, but it doesn’t work as the building is timber and not stable enough.
I am playing with positioning, but if the speakers don’t work in the space then they just aren’t the right speaker.
We will get there. I put the Russell K’s back in last night and the sound was so much better straight away.
I have a week to mess around with both sets and there are still a couple of options not yet tried🤔
I should think they have - so close to the corners of the room and no toe in. Would the OP be better off with boundary speakers such as SL2s or firing straight ahead speakers like PMC 25.24s? Alternatively, move the racks to the side wall as speakers nearly always sound better with nothing in between them or if not at least move them forward so their front baffles are ahead of the racks.
I like stand mounts but intensely dislike stands, and do not like floor standers - this possibly explains why my last two speakers of choice where strangely sized stands mounts sitting on the floor, namely Klipsch Heresy and IBLs…
