Calling all Escalante Design Fremont Owners

Congrats! Great speakers. I've had them for ~2 years now....

While these speakers are pretty efficient, they can handle extreme power (Matt Waldron once told me you could plug them into a 15 Amp outlet and they'd output 130+ dB of 60 Hz!) I have run them on Proceed HPA's, Mark Levinson 433 and now use a Krell Evo 403 and they keep liking the increased power. You could use tubes as well as I've heard them at several shows on tubes, but they still tended to be pretty powerful (think the Butler Mono blocks)

Thanks for the reply pal, these will be replacing my current AP Caldera's which have served me well. Can't sleep waiting for these babies to arrive, haven't heard them but if they out perform the Khorus Mk2 which I have heard I'll dancing round the round with delight.

It's funny this hifi game as a friend once said you've found a hobby more expensive than what Grandmaster Flash used to rap about.

What transport do you use, cabling etc will the VD stuff be to revealing on the speaker side.

regards

Dave

I have no experience with your cables, I am using Transparent Reference XL MMM2, I had the Reference (MM1) prior. I use the EMM Labs TSD1/DAC2 for my reference.

What color are your Fremonts? Mine came in the Cadillac white pearl and are pretty unique.

Fremonts are Indy red, that caddy white is awesome and is so trendy at the moment is is the colour of choice for cars anyway.

Do you have any advise on positioning, tweeks etc that you' ve stumbled across in the yrs of ownership.
