Classic Audio

Posted by Salectric on July 11, 2011 at 16:47:23:
I was in the Classic Audio room Friday and Saturday and was able to listen to some of my own CDs. The speakers were on the long wall so the sweet spot was pretty close to the speakers. The model was the T-3.4 and it was configured with half field coil and half permanent magnet speakers. The front facing 15" woofer and the mid driver were FC, the bottom facing woofer and HF driver were PM. John said this is his most popular version. Friday they were driven by an Allnic stereo amp, Saturday by Atmasphere M-60's. Overall I was surprised by how good they sounded. They were full-range and uncolored. My only complaint Friday was the bass seemed a bit thick and lacking in tonal differentiation, but after all this was a motel room and these are big speakers. On Saturday when I played my CDs I was still impressed but thought they were lacking a bit in refinement. The room issues probably were also responsible for images being stretched vertically. They seemed to have a lot of potential.
