@hilde45 Thanks for the subscribe. I generally keep speakers a long time so not switching that often, except for starting with the entry level Prodigio then the larger model.
@curiousjim I appreciate the subscribe. I didn’t find the beryllium dome TAD’s to be troublesome, but then again I have an all tube preamp and hybrid amps, so perhaps that helped.
@musicfan2349 the crate was close to 400 lbs or so but each speaker is “only” about 150-160lbs.
Douglas thanks for the tip about angling down slightly.
@ghdprentice Thank you. It’s funny my GF is so sad to see the TAD’s go because she feels they look elegant. The ‘stats look nice but are much more visually intrusive in our living space.
@hk_fan thanks for watching the video using my Schoeps mic recording the two different speakers. That was the entry level model Prodigio, so the larger model works even better in my large room.
@emergingsoul thanks for watching the video. The CR1 isn’t really a bookshelf, but more of a stand mount, due to its size. The bass was not lacking, but I did often run my Velodyne DD10+ subs to get the lowest octave. The room isn’t super reverberative. I have those 6 realtraps which helps quite a bit. There is full wall of LP’s and another wall has a large bookshelf. The windows all have large 1.25” cellular shades. Also the ceilings are barrel since the building is from the late 1800’s, and help break up reflections.
It’s not a dead or fully controlled room, but seems to work well. I used to have panels at the first reflection points, but find I don’t need them with the stats.
@mrmb I always wanted soundlabs and a friend owned U1’s but I always felt they were too large for NYC. I did finally buy loft space here but it’s still not a dedicated room, so the smaller size of the Prodigio made more sense for me.
I’d love to host an AudioGon listening session, so if anyone in the NYC area wants to come by for a listen, that would be fantastic. I need some more audiophile friends!
