Shiny brand new second hand things in my system today V1.2

Very nice.

Did you have to adjust the suspension much for the R200? I didn’t try pre setting it as I can’t recall what one weighs. But presumably you have it bouncing freely?

It is bouncing fairly freely and very little adjustment required, mainly at the arm and less so at the front.

That looks great :+1:.

Did the same some time ago, was pretty amazed at the sound in his room with speakers across the board price wise. Even the cheaper Scansonic sounded good. I did leave thinking the old adage of room layout, treatment and speaker placement was where the magic was. Would probably sound shite plonked down in my front room.

Well I went full . . . well, you know, that word we’re now too sensitive to use that describes about 80% of the population - yeah, I went fully that and fucked my children’s inheritance up the wall in ecstatic gouts of financial baby-gravy -

Triangle Magellan Quatuor 40th Anniversary…

Ex-review set, one tiny scratch, one missing grille, one missing bag - I’m told all will be rectified, but won’t hold my breath…

I’m currently running them in with a very average orchestral recording, and it really does sound like being at a concert and not at a hifi show…

Fuck me these are good! Expectations exceeded - the Genese Lyrr were game-changers for me: delivering what I’d been missing since I sold my old Naias, but these are a whole entire different league! :heart_eyes: :star_struck: :heart_eyes: :star_struck:

Lucky for my children that they don’t exist…

Sam will be very, very unimpressed when she spots them… I’ve bottled the confession so far…

Cheers Mike, I’m steeling myself in case I have to risk the ā€œYou’re my wife not my bleedin’ mum!ā€ line!

I had to do it - they’ve always been my dream speakers, and I had a few quid left in the savings despite the vast amount this house has swallowed - I’m pensionable now and watching my oldest and dearest friends die like fucking flies, so thought ā€œfuck it - can’t take it with meā€¦ā€.

Yeah, bloody works too - amazing sense of space and soundstage!
