It’s been such fun, and so gratifying, to keep getting “more” from The Loudspeakers, which have so far been a veritable Sonic Cornucopia, exceeding my expectations and delighting me again and again since I first listened to Music with them, as chronicled at the beginning of this thread. I should say that my primary relationship with The Loudspeakers has been Listening to Music rather than hi-fi, per se. However, as I keep hearing more in terms of Music, it makes me want to explore certain “aspects of the Sound” that these speakers deliver, namely, “imaging” and “space”. So far, I have stuck to my guns (and Troels’ instructions) and NOT messed with crossovers in order to shape the sound, as some other TL builders have discussed doing on other forums. So far, I have simply moved The (bog standard) Loudspeakers and my ears around in the same listening room I have used for almost 17 years in order to hear better and better understand the Music I want to hear, along with the “sounds of space” and other things currently of interest to me. Before The Loudspeakers (BTL) I chose Sound “density” and dynamics over imaging and space every time, since it seemed at the time to be an either/or situation. And I was never that smitten by the sort of “air-y ambience” that some small speakers do so well, even as they dilute the density and the “un-forced Force” of live music events. At this point it appears that I have discovered with The Loudspeakers a very saturated and detailed FR sonic balance that includes width, height and depth that scales well with both intimate and very large Music venues, apropos, given the recording includes this “information” in the first place. It’s a solid fact that my place in the room, The Loudspeakers’ places in the room, and my position relative to The loudspeakers are all important in terms of the Sound of the Music I get. I will try to explain better as I am able, and I will continue reporting all this as I find the words to describe it better. Meanwhile, Wow!>>
