Your 50s do look great. Do you mind me asking how far apart you have them? It looks like you’ve got a nice large room there to get the most out of them.
‘Anaemic’ was the word that came to mind when I tested a Selekt Dual Organik Utopik against the 333:300. I wanted to like it for the simplicity, but it was just so uninteresting. Even with the 332:300 in play I just couldn’t get it to wake up.
It takes all kinds to make a world though, and some swear by it, so each to their own and all that.
I recently heard an older DS3 Akurate Katalyst Dynamik, which I preferred to the Selekt above.
Thanks. They are around 3.5 m apart, around 1.25 m from the side walls and 0.4m from the back wall. The listening position is a bit further (4-4.5m) ; so not the classic equilateral triangle, but doesn’t seem to detract (I’ve tried listening at 3.5m).
I have to say it looks better that way! I just got a pair of IBLs and they’re great with a 52/250. I bet they’re taking up a few notches with a 552/500!
Yes, I’ve a whole stack of these as leftovers from the garden renovation. The sides are made of hardwood, leftovers from the old pergola. I love recycling
