scuzzii Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 @@Luc Bass Bass and Bass. the PAPs were impressive in scale and in bottom end. They filled the room with sound and sounded much better than I'd heard them in Melb (in Dave's front room). There was nothing at all harsh about the sound, which my room can lean towards, and the general consensus was these were engaging and big. Nothing boomy, nothing bloated so they were a good match for my room size. They are quite polite speakers but they can also drive a lot of energy. The realisation for me was when we swapped back to the Aslans, half the sound went. I've since been able to adjust back but I was very mopey for a day or so afterwards when all that lovely bass and large scale was missing. Very enjoyable and would make a lot of people happy. I just couldn't afford them right now at the same time as the TT and Graham Slee gear. I would have purchased them if I had the $$. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzii Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Just an update. Have spent some time with the system over the weekend. Snuck in 3 albums yesterday before heading out for a long lunch with Mrs. Ray Brown - Moonlight Serenade Jose James - No beginning no end Miles Davis - Kind of blue Outstanding, esp Ray Brown. It's the Audiophile Legends European pressing (difficult to get). The bass extension is just quite unbelievable. Today has been the 3 above again (also took them to @hensa) Also played Mighty Sam McClain - give it up to love The Black Keys - Rubber factory I was concerned when I was playing Black Keys - if honest it sounds crap.... I had to throw on mighty Sam again to make I'd not stuffed up my setup. Very 1 dimensional... Thanks to @@TLL for coming over for a listen. I'm relaxing with a coffee listening to Miles and John on Kind of Blue. Sensational Been a good day! Edited July 19, 2015 by scuzzii 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ophool Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Well, if there is one thing obvious from the pics it is the width of your grin John. May it stay with you long. Sort of a pity I missed hearing those speakers, but perhaps all for the best, I might have felt like you after they went. Lovely setup, I am sure it will give much pleasure in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzii Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Haven't had time with the system due to travelling this week. Received my delivery of 20 records from Vinyl Eye yesterday. Currently playing Tracy Chapman self titled - the recording is quite impressive for a 1983 recording. Will be having a listening session tmrw to go through the 20 newbies. Will be good background whilst I get through a ton of work. Thanks again Vinyl Eye. 👠@@cheekyboy John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
