It's a very sad story, but I think I'd prefer to turn it around the other way and celebrate thee many successes Jim achieved during his career, and the many people who are still enjoying his creations. Thanks for that information Jim.

wise words @roxy54 and my hope is Tom gains traction for his dreams :-) |
Nice pickup @bnut311 I just bought a pair of 3.6 speakers about a week ago. Quick update on my experience so far. I was a bit surprised at the amount of bass they produced. I have a distributed bass array system consisting of 4 subwoofers. My intuition was to dial down the volume a bit on the subs and also lower the crossover point to around 30hz. After doing so and listening for a couple of days, they seemed "bright" at higher volumes. I tried moving my listening position back a bit and that helped, but then imaging and soundstage suffered. I decided to try raising the crossover point of the subs back up to 80hz and voila, that seemed to tame almost all of the brightness and really enhanced the soundstage and sense of propulsion of the music and brought back that visceral sense of "being there". I'm pretty happy with how they sound now. I think I still have some work to do to get the most from them. I am currently powering them with Herron Audio M1 amps which are 150/270 watts @ 8/4. These amps do have very large toroidal transformers. I'm currently using about 20 bucks of 16 gauge Duelund unterminated speaker cable. I have some nice 11 GA Analysis Plus speaker cables on order and am considering different amps. A couple of amps I'm considering are Parasound JC1 (not +) and Simaudio M400. I'd appreciate any experience with either of those combinations. |
