This combination is very musical, dynamic and realistic. It sounds like the performers are in the room including, jazz, blues, rock, and classical.
I have 26 bass traps (from 2" to 8" thick) in the room. The room is L-shaped with the vertical of the L being 16x34 and the horizontal of the L being 20x18. The theater is at the top of the L, with the seating area being 17' back.
The stage area is not finished yet - determining best speaker placement before it is finished.
I reorganized the electronics a bit. I have replaced the Kisto with a Halcro SSP-200 and a dm10 for 2-channel.
Wow, I've heard the DCS Puccini. Your setup must sound incredible.
I am the lucky owner of an L shaped room as well. Any suggestions you might be able to offer on how to handle room acoustics better would be welcome. How do your bass traps work?
Tboooe, I would go with the sub from YG (the studio version). The bass on these speakers is so incredibly tight and lifelike. I don't think any other sub would sound as good with the main module. I have 3 Linn melodiks/5150s which are very good subs, and there is no comparison. You should try to audition the speakers somewhere and hear for yourself - I think you will hear what I mean.
kevinm, do you think given my small room, I will need to add the sub unit? Perhaps it would be more economical to add something like the JL Fathom sub instead of the YG one?
Tboooe, I would agree that the Kipod would be perfect for that size room. YG's claims are accurate that the Kipods sound as good as the ANATs only they do not play as loud. Even thouugh my Kipods are the rear channel, I set them up by making them the front left right and listening to two channel music.
kevinm, thank you for the reply. The room I may be moving my system to is only 10x10. Another possibility is a loft that is 15x15. I was thinking about starting with the KIPOD Main Module then possibly adding the sub unit later.
They are the most musical speaker I've ever heard!Instruments sound as they should (macro and micro dynamics are realistic). It truly sounds like the performers are in the room, including dynamics, 3 dimensional placement of instruments, etc within the soundstage, details, and especially timbre and accuracy (cymbal decay for instance is as if the cymbals are in the room).
For the last several years, all of my speakers have been active. The YG's are far superior.
What are you calling a small room? The main modules are impressive, but the Kipod Studio may be another excellent choice.
FANTASTIC! I have been wanting to listen to the YG speakers for a while now. How do they compare to any of your previous speakers? I am thinking about just getting the main module for use in a small room. I really prefer speakers that are transparent, dynamic, accurate in terms of reproducing timbre. How do you think the YG perform in these areas?
