Description

It works very well and gives a lot of pleasure.

Want to have a autentich sound with no atificical flavor added. 

I often play a realistic live levels which is a challange for every systen.

Tweaking makes the diffrence.

Calculating 1 year to explore full potential of new components and have them fully integrated in my system.

I have all my coponents incl all cabels hung up on the wall on custum made with quartzsand, bitumen and led damping birchshelfs

The speakers are ofcourse floorstanding on a floor that is floatingon a 11tons reinforced concrete platform.

My playingroom (lisining studio 43 m2) contains of about 25m2 absorbments for controling the standing waves in the woofer region.

Made as speakers without motor.

The roof is made of special acoustic plates.

I also have a small 13.2 hometheater in the same room.

HI Luigipenagos
Sorry for the late answer but i havent seen your question until now so i hope you will get the message.
My Vyger had a small modification so that i could install another armbase and i have 4 diffrent armbases all costum made by a engineering. I have just put a Goldfinger Statement in the Grandesse arm and it is way better the the mk1 version, like my Koetsu Coralstone on sterioid.
I cannot imagine that i will keep the Koetsu any longer but time will show.

Hi Roxy
The wooden boxes are diy dampers. They contain 2x7 cavitys filled with 3 diffrent quartzsand types and lead shot. The cavitys are milled out in 4 diffrent wood layers. For cosmetic reasons they are laminaited with pinewood.
The weight is aproxymate 40 kg and i original made them to damp a transformer on some CAT monoes but they didnt work that well and i tried them on my speakers and there they worked very well. Amasingly because the speakers are very heavy, they add better detail imagine as well as finer resolution.
