This is good to hear, as I tried the 'original' hft's and found the sound to be a 'little' hi fi ish...a little too much emphasis on the highs leaning towards bright...at first it sounds great...then maybe a little fatiguing over time. I am trying the panels and the uef dots as I was told they are warmer sounding. I did not have all the HFT's at my disposal to 'tune' the room which would have been nice. Will let you know how I like the panels and dots...I already have the acoustic art 'bell's and like those a lot. I am hoping though that the panels and dots 'do' kind of like the orignal hft's but warmer -
Synergistic Research Upgrades
Having just returned from the S.H.O.W. 2016 at Newport held in Irvine, California, wanted to get feedback from fellow Audiogoners on the newer products form Synergistic Research.
This year as compared to last, the UEF Acoustic panels were placed at many locations and at differ heights all over the room. The newer and taller Acoustic Wave generator was also in back of all the electronics.
After Ted Deney's demonstration I asked one of Scott Walker's employees working the demo table outside a few questions about specifically the panels and the taller Wave generator. Found out the following information.
If I were to invest in the new panels(8-12) placed at the instructed heights, I can not use any of my HFT dots now placed around my listening room except on the speakers. None? ... 'only on the speakers'.... " You can put them in your car" was the answer given by the sales rep.
"The new Wave Generator tower is 4X more powerful than the old one" was the second response when I asked what was the difference between mine ( which is now the mid-size) and the newer one.
Question? Who has scraped their HFT's for the newer panels and what was the effect. Second question: Who is using the now tallest Wave generator and is there an appreciable difference between the now mid-size Generator?
I just noticed on the Synergistic Research website there is a newer HFTX.... I already "outmoded"... What say ya'all. Thanks
