It was actually warm and sunny out yesterday… but the photos did not come out so great. Will try again on the next sunny day. Should be one coming up … sometime.
It is also hard to show just how BIG the amps stand, and amp! are. We;ll try to fix that for next time too.
Anyway… there are some HRS couplers under the amp, but in gernal we have not done extensive listening tests to test the HRS or the system itself in this configuration… yet.
These speakers, this system, actually does fill up the room with sound. It is amazing.
Not quite the easy open bass the Triolon bass towers had- but few systems have THAT large of a sound.
But the bass goes down on both this and the previous system to about the same frequency, and with about the same resolution… so there ARE similaritities.
And here, the soundstage is a more reasonable 6 or 7 feet tall, instead of 20 feet – so it is, as always, about tradeoffs. And at about 1/4 the price… we are happy with this being the primary system… for awhile.
I will have to take more photos of the Ongaku on the Rix Rax outpost amp stand. It was just a kind of accident that this got set up this way – the HRS going out on a local audition this week – but this looks really … farout man.
The two are about the same size and it is as if were made for each other. And Neli polished up both of them, which doesn’t hurt the visuals either.
Sonically… we are playing with power cords and have a $2 OEM cord on the Ongaku to establish a frame-of-reference… so can’t say anything yet.
We sold our red ones to someone who just had to have red – so Neli picked walnut this time.
Still breaking in. Which is the reason for the choo-choo-train speaker setup…
