Are the towers sitting on spike footage?

Congratulations. Run and buy yourself a good amplifier to run them effectively. That is an order.

P.S. When can we come over to audition your speakers?

I don't have a lot of experience with GoldenEar speakers. I only heard them at an audio show. They are relatively efficient speakers and easy to drive. Either amp should work.

So Marty,
You get a chance to get these broke in yet. Very interested in hearing an owners impressions. We need pics and a review. If its not too much trouble.

I am very interested also. According to their website there is a place down the street from me who have them. I may have to check them out.

Marty319 if your considering NAD take a look at the 757. It has 3d and aloows for module exchange. Somewhat futureproofing it.

Those are some lovely looking towers. I bet they sound even better than they look. :up:

Forgive my ignorance but why are ribbon tweeters so coveted? I wikipedia'd them but the info left me still asking the same question.

Because they have a silky smooth sound and extend way beyond 20,000Hz. Moreover, they look cool and give you bragging rights.

Nice pictures. Thank you.

Instead of attaching pictures, if you create an account with PhotoBucket, you can then upload all your pictures there and then put all the links in one post here. The main advantage is that we can see all the pictures in one post and we don't have to click on them to see them.

So how do they sound??? I saw them at my local listen up, I was in a rush so I didn't have much time to stick around. Every thing about them was so much larger than my Mythos Sts's. I placed some orders for some more Def Tech stuff so Ill be back over there to pick it all up in around 1-2 weeks. I will definitely give them a listen when I go back.

Thanks for the pics, I will have to check these out. let us know your opinion on the sound.

[sonic_debauchery]

The sound is phenomenal. The soundstage is wide and at the same time you would think the singer is right in front of you performing. The bass these speakers put out gets better with time. I only have 5 hours on them, they get better everytime i listen to them. The break in is 100 hours. Recommended by store staff.

They are the most accurate sounding speaker i have heard. Before i bought them i spent 3 hours with them in store. Ran off a disc of songs i was very familiar with, and listened. I took everything from acoustical to dance.

These are speakers that according to hometheaterreview.com sound as good as speakers costing $24K. Sound and Vision gave them an award and mentions that they can give $50K speakers a run. I wouldn't have believed it until i got in some time with them in store and finally in my living room.
