LessLoss Firewall for Loudspeakers

I must say Constantine was excellent to work with.
You never will know if it provides magic like some of you have experienced until you try them.

Well  after using the LessLoss Firewall for Loudspeakers for about a week now I just removed them. 

And again, I think I like the sound better without them. To me, they color the sound somewhat and remove some of the dynamics or rawness that is in the recording.

I do appreciate the fact that I have been able to try these (2 times in fact) but they just don't add anything positive to my system.

So when I use my DIY speaker cable the Lessloss units seem to work ok. But when I use my Cerious Matrix speaker cables I do think the upper frequencies are slightly subdued.
I can tell that the midrange is more pronounced and it does make vocals much more enjoyable.

I'm gonna continue trying these out as long as I can before making a decision.

ozzy

Don't you guys think the high frequencies are softened?

Well I'm going to try the Lessloss firewall for loudspeakers again. But this time with my DIY speaker cables. These cables are made with 12ga .999 soft solid silver wire that is sleeved into a high quality PTFE tubing.
And I'm gonna let them play for a couple hundred hours.

Yeah, I think the adapters would have worked better with a different set of speaker cables.
BTW, I’m also using my DIY Entreq for speakers, so that could matter too.

I think they are over priced but I guess if they really lock into your system then perhaps they are not. I am glad i had the opportunity to try them.

I can now conclude what I feel the Lessloss provides in sound quality.
They do take a while to break in, I probably have put about 50 hours on them and I was told that they already had about 20 hours. They did exhibit a benefit with additional hours. Perhaps with more time, they would improve even further. I doubt it though.

From my point of view these adapters round off the highs giving the sound a more relaxed sound. Albeit at the expense of robbing the dynamics or as i would call the bite of the music. Sounds pleasant on some music but it varies.

At $1600 for a set of 4 it is too much for me for what may be perceived as an improvement on some material.

whites,
The Cerious Matrix cables use Graphene and other mixes in the cables shielding, so perhaps that makes the cable less immune to the Lessloss effects. But you never know.  Constantine said to keep on breaking them in and see if they improve.

ozzy

Well I just received my trial pair. I assume they have been broken in already.
First impression: Not much improvement if any compared to my Cerious Matrix cables by themselves.

I’ll give them more time and then take them to see if they can change my first impressions.

ozzy

whites,
Did you get them today?

ozzy 

Hopefully I will get a trial set next week!

I read the Six Moons review. It is very hard to understand the sonic improvements by their writing style.

mrpaul, and calloway, joeybear63, Your opinions are appreciated can you add more?


ozzy

Where did you order them from?
