Thanks, Art!

If I can't be there, perhaps Albert can convey his observations...he has a terrific facility for characterizng the sound of a room/system :-)

I'll figure out a time Albert, they are definitely a different speaker than my arrays....in a good way to me.

Sam, you are always welcome if you'll be in the area!

arthursmuck August 05, 2011 06:12

+1, Albert.

c1ferrari August 04, 2011 21:54

Seriously, I'm excited about your new speakers and looking forward to return visit to hear what they do.

You had terrific sound with the custom line array, if this is better it will be a real treat.

albertporter August 04, 2011 14:22

It's true, Albert has full Romeo approval....as long as Albert pets him until Romey is ready to stop! :-)

arthursmuck August 03, 2011 18:45

Response34,

Art's cat is Romeo, the Napoleon breed of cat. That cat owns AT&T and Art works for him.

If you're nice, Napoleon will run over to you, flop on his side and beg for pets. After that you are free to listen to Arts system.

I'm in like Flint over there, cat gave me full approval.

System is looking great! Really wish I was closer to be able to stop by for a listen. Wait a minute, im allergic to cats.
How does a cat get to have a system like that anyway? What does his do for a living?

response34 August 02, 2011 18:04

Hi Albert, they are breaking in on schedule and sounding fabulous! Napolean cat will be hosting a GTG sometime soon so you can hear his new speakers.... :-)

arthursmuck August 02, 2011 06:52

Art,

Are the new speakers breaking in, sounding like you expected?

albertporter August 02, 2011 00:21

System edited: Added Mach2 modified Mac Mini. Running through the Wavelink and using the Anagram digital processor in the Vitus. The PI Audio BatteryBuss keeps it all off the grid and sounding fantastic...

arthursmuck July 31, 2011 20:58

Hahaha,

You got a deal, Art! ;-)

c1ferrari July 12, 2011 22:45

Well Sam, think of it this way...I gave up on analog, so maybe we can help each other get our heads around different mediums...we can't all be masters of all mediums like our pal Albert! :-)

arthursmuck July 12, 2011 21:23

Nice...gee, I guess I'm going to be the last one to adopt this music server thing! Alas, I'm still trying to get my head around analog - LOL :-)

c1ferrari July 12, 2011 18:57

Sam, I am adding a Mach2 player like Albert is, but I am going battery powered on mine. It will feed the DAC in the Vitus. No other changes planned for now.......for now.... :-)

arthursmuck July 12, 2011 16:50

He brought his pre and amps to my place when we installed the WAS-2 and the collective system sounded fantastic.

I can believe it, Art! Are your speakers the sole component you swapped out or any change(s) upstream?

Vbr,
Sam

c1ferrari July 11, 2011 16:23

Thanks Sam, Peter is a terrific designer/builder and an all around good guy as well. He brought his pre and amps to my place when we installed the WAS-2 and the collective system sounded fantastic. Glad to hear you guys had a good event!

arthursmuck July 11, 2011 05:39

Art,

Just returned from a San Diego Music and Audio Guild event at PBN Audio, which featured the Pennywise speaker and PBN electonics...very nice sounding :-)

The system/room allowed the listeners to get a feel for the very agile nature of this loudspeaker.

Congrats!

c1ferrari July 09, 2011 17:52

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I'll get some better pics and post more as I get more hours in...

arthursmuck July 09, 2011 05:11

Art, the latest incarnation of the room is, as usual, inspirational and beautiful. Congrats on the Montanas!!

chessman July 07, 2011 19:41

Just ordered my silkworm plus ICs to connect my vac pre to vac amp.

podeschi July 06, 2011 16:34

Beautiful speaker and the veneer looks wonderful, would be my pick too...

branislav July 06, 2011 10:09

To clarify what speakers I "speak" of. I love the look of those huge Montana PBN speakers. Also really liked two different, smaller versions I've heard at times earlier this year. jim...

diyaudio July 06, 2011 09:50

Love the photos of your other speakers! And loved the sound too! jim...

diyaudio July 05, 2011 20:11

Art,

When's the party so I can come hear the new speakers, or are you going to break them in first?

albertporter July 05, 2011 13:17

Hello Art

Thanks for your hospitality. You have a great sunding system, your room is among the very best I have heard. Enjoy your new Montana WAS2 loudspeakers.

Peter
