What a wonderful example of how it's not just a single component e.g speakers, that make a system but the entirety.savvypaul wrote: ↑Sun May 03, 2020 10:09 amThey were my Cube 1s. They ran out of puff pretty quickly in that very large room. Didn't sound anywhere near as good as they do in my front room. Richard determined at that event to make a set of Cubes with 12" drivers, hence the BB Cubes.Lindsayt wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2020 2:30 pm I've heard NVA speakers in a bake off against Steve57's red and black DIY'd speakers.
In that conext I wouldn't describe NVA speakers as "perfectly fine".
I'd describe NVA speakers as good sound for money and good sound for the size. They are not world class speakers. Steve57's are.
Steve57's speakers were excellent. They had immediacy and clarity without sacrificing any of the tone and timbre that music uses to melt your heart. They worked on an emotional level and an intellectual level. They sounded completely natural. Couldn't fault them.
Right at the end (I think you and most others had already left) Nick plugged his 300b monos in to those £75k Maxonics, and that was a big improvement on what we heard first up.
The other variable is us, the listener. What floats your boat may not be what floats mine. It's all a matter of taste and that changes with time as I can tell you to my cost!
Enjoy the vibes folks.
