Luckiestmanalive Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I love the concept behind the petit performas. Are you buying the Stand or the Mass as well? Would like to hear how you like them when you get them into your system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to hear how you like them when you get them into your system... I had intended to get the Stand but when I trialled at The Demo Room, Phil had them set up with the Mass. I initially listened without the Mass operating and the sound was pretty good but when he connected the Mass, the difference was huge. The soundstage instantly grew and of course, I then had to go for the Mass option at the extra price!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was up in Auckland for the weekend and Chris organised the demo with Phil who set-up their listening room as close as possible to my home set-up. Certainly did not take long to decide on the Mass option after listening. Hopefully they will be ready in the next couple of weeks (in American Cherry) and very much looking forward to hearing them at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the Studio Reference's for quite a few years and have always loved the detail etc but of late have started craving a bit more bass weight etc. I have yet to audition the PP with Mass but I am thinking seriously about it later this year.

Hi Ant, I am not sure of the exact dimensions but we live in a 100 year old Villa so it has 3.3m studs and if effectively only three wall as one is open into our dining room. The room is slightly smaller than the listening room at the Demo Room but with the higher roof height and open wall, we need a touch more power. It will be interesting to see how the PP with Mass perform. Cheers, Howlar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping my wife's choice of American Cherry will be the right one! Howler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
