The TaoDgad,Thanks! You should put up a virtual system thread, the more the merrier. I love checking out what other people have done with their own space(s). posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The TaoSean Turner from HiFiBuysNashville did an incredible job of voicing the speakers. Before the voicing started I had them in a position that wasn't terrible, but the very bottom of the bass was disco... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The TaoShadorne,That's a nice read, thanks for posting it.Switching albums that had this issue to other speakers revealed that not all speakers have those characteristics that bothered me ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
The TaoShadorne,Definitely not a bad speaker at all. My friend recently mentioned to me that I just don't like the characteristic laid British sound as much as the more forward American presentati... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
The TaoShadorne,It isn't a consideration I think. I had the 802D speakers in this same room without any treatments, with a little bit of treatments and with the room completely re-designed via a R... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The TaoJoey_v,They are diffusors, that is correct. I do have a diffusor in the front of the room. The passive resonator, or polycylindrical diffusor as it is termed in the Master Handbook ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The TaoJoey_v,There are cheaper versions that use different number combinations and sizes, etc, as well. I don't think you can get any of those custom painted though, but if you don't mind airbrus... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
The TaoJoey_v,I don't remember off the top of my head. I think the price was around $300 with the custom paint. I ordered them over 7 months ago, so I'm not 100% sure on that. $300 seems right, be... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The TaoJoey_v,Don't get me wrong. The 802Ds are excellent speakers. They just didn't have the combination of sound elements I was looking for ultimately. Some people love the British sound, it eve... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The TaoJoey_v,There were a few things I didn't like about the 802D. The first was the laid back vocals, they receded to far behind most of the other sounds (my friend calls that the laid-back Brit... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
