Great arms, I prefer mine to the V I have.
Have now purchased the Accustic Arts ES amp off Nick.
Not an amp to instantly impress (I actually told Nick it was bit soft and boring after 24 hours😯), but it’s really got under my skin over the last week or so and has the most lovely liquid midband with superb imaging and separation.
Sounds like it has about a week left!
Very nice it is too👌
I’ve got a IIXE900 with an RB300 and it’s a really good deck. Also in black ash, I keep meaning to veneer it in something more attractive, or maybe build an exact copy of the plinth in oak, but never seem to have the time…
I have a 900 here which i stripped back.
Will be doing the same with this one.
I’ll put up my progress.
Will probably take the 250 off,and use the 200 i have.
I’ll give it a fortnight
That looks in nice condition - too good to strip , embrace the black its eightiestastic
That’s not the actual one.
I’ll see what it’s like when i pick it up.
To very few peoples taste. A rough pair of Lowther TP1’s with PM3’s. Nice to not have to worry about a crossover (Crossover issues are a specialty in Cassa Audio Fail) Drivers back from Lowther for Re mag and service…Screaming like my student neighbors at the moment, hoping they will loosen up…
Apparently it takes quite some time for the drivers to fully loosen, like years.
Certainly >100 hours. You need to leave them attached to a cd player on repeat over the weekend with some fulsome sounding disc playing.
Nice,never heard a pair
Lucky you.
CD Player and T-amp on duty…I would say I’ll break these like Mr. MWs would break a Nun but Mr. MWS never actually breaks anything other than his own mind.
I vote for Yothu Yindi and Treaty on repeat.
I liked my time with Lowthers, they do some things really well. Problem is to get bass you need a massive back loaded horn, and integrating a sub never worked for me.
The project I’d like to do with them is to use them from 200Hz, with open baffle bass underneath (15"), and a compression driver from about 1.2kHz above. That should avoid the shouty range, and play to their strengths. Could be a nice 96dB/W speaker then.
