Bye Bye Puppy!

😂 ..yes, but what does that makes you and Mike?

Different speakers every month? 😀

Nice system James. Loving the stereo subs! 

Thanks Mike.

Buying speakers can be bit like get getting married. 😊

thank you hshifi and all above for your generous good wishes and positive feedback. 🙏🏻

This upgrade has taken a long time to finance and I was lucky to be able to stretch the funds and find a preowned pair on a very good deal (less than half of retail).

I will be pleased to report back in due course and let you know how it all goes. 

It will be interesting to hear how the front end  (which took many changes and experiments to find synergy with the 6's) will work with the Sasha's. 

@geekster - nice contribution and appreciated.

My first impressions are that they are a world apart from the puppy's and I am amazed at the midrange clarity and separation. The soundstage is incredible and envelopes the listener.

The upper mids may be a little bit forward but I have not yet found the perfect positioning from a imaging point of view but i'm getting closer and so that may change.

Bass is a little light for my tastes so I am moving them gradually closer to the rear and side walls whilst adjusting for image.

I have been away for most of the time since the 2's arrived and so I haven't really had enough time to experiment fully but it's clear that these are very special speakers. 

After several hours of speaker re-positioning and measuring with REW I was still very unhappy with the bass and imaging.

it was really making me sad! 

This evening I double checked to see if I had wired the speakers correctly and they were in opposite phase. Doh!

I needed to wire the speakers black on red due to different hot pins between the amp and pre, and must have got distracted half way through, so only wired one speaker correctly. 

Unsurprisingly, they now sound utterly brilliant. 

I am very happy and feel like a total idiot! 😂
