Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience?

Thank you.  It's eye opening how good and how not good equipment can sound depending on the synergy of all the components.  The guy who sold these to me didn't know they were a coax driver!  As I think I said they don't sound good on my DK Design amp with tube preamp in it. They sound crazy good on the other system.  This has been the best $300 lesson I ever learned!

Hi I just picked up Hsu coax driver speakers $300 used, and holy smokes they are amazing.  The reason is because I found synergy using $15K worth of electronics. I have another amp that cost me $800 but has tubes and the Hsu speakers do NOT sound good.  I think the question isn't if this design or that is good but what will work with what.  I had to send my main speakers back and needed something but had no idea these would sound this good. Shocked actually.  So you could listen to these speakers and conclude they do not sound good because....   This was an eye opener for me. I think horns, coax, single driver, etc all have different compromises so talking about that is great fun but if we keep we want to hear sound/music in amazing ways then focusing on synergy is very fruitful. 

I love this stuff.

Wow small world.  If you don't mind can you tell me where you got the cross over?  I have NSMT 100's so thinking of just using these as they are and take them with me when I travel for a month at a time. I am stunned at how they sound with my SPL 1200 and SPL Director. 

thanks

Got it and did it make a significant diff?  Did you modify the cabinets?

Thanks
