Just a public call out

160 W at 4 oh so im hoping its enough. Its definitely going to be better than the bose portable bluetooth speaker thats there now. :-)

i have never been asked to write a review before. Thats cool thanks. I will jot down some notes tonight when I listen to my current system and compare tomorrow night when this is set up with the same songs. Current set up is also a Mc integrated amp but solid state preamp. Getting my tube on tomorrow!!

System is up and running! Chet Baker is coming alive right now!

So initial impressions are very positive. Tremendous detail and musicality even at lower volumes which is what i wanted. Also was much easier to find “the spot” than with my Venere 1.5. Not a surprise but a big positive i was hoping for. Really enjoying the effortless sound stage with live recordings. Can tell where everyone is on stage instantly and get a nice “ceiling hight” sense for indoor recordings but more experimenting will likely improve. I don't think the amp is underpowered for my needs but for higher volumes I could see it toping out for sure 

Also major rookie mistake on my end. I did a manual bi wire and didnt take off the speaker jumpers until a smart bro n law threw that at out. A literal game changer

Im excited for sure. These is going into an odd space. Small loft style apt with concrete ceilings, exposed ducts etc. Not in a position to test but I have have other MC SF combinations and this seemed like a safe bet for a low volume, good sound combo. Paring a Bluesound node streamer. Simple and easy i hope. Setting up Fri

And yes.. I'm living there. Just working through getting into a nee space. Nobody can actually move without music right? Chet Baker and Sonia Dada will get me through. 

Bighead Todd, Samples, Poi Dog, Sub Dudes yes?

From Alex here on Agon. Super responsive and perfect shipping. And believe me… if you need speakers talk to Will from Little Rock AR also on this site. My speakers were shipped on a pallet to protects them and he shipped the metal stands separately just to be sure nothing was scratched. Everything in original boxes with owners manuals etc. Both awesome sellers.

Been listening for several hours non stop and really notice the difference between my MAC6700 and the MA252. Tubes vs solid state preamp make a big difference. I might switch the amps as a test. Definitely have become accustomed to the precision of the solid state. Getting used to the warmer tube sound. 

I am sure you are sick of me by now but i have been playing with speaker positioning and its making a huge difference. The Sonettos are a very broad play and require only a degree or two of toe in. Improved precision tremendously! 

It was getting rid of the jumpers. I knew something wasn't quite right.
