Wondering how they sound compare to the berries. Maybe they will be berry beaters.
Maybe another option for the AVS community but we will see. Hoping for the best. Will give my impression sometime next weekend.
Need to buy speakon connection now so I can bare wire them. Not sure on which ones to order tho? They have 2 4 8 pole?
How did you like there amps? Cause if I like the speakers and keep them I'm going to want more power then my EMOs can put out. Either getting crown XLS or maybe try the Samson
Haha gotcha ya I was leaning more towards crown too! I'm hoping I'm happy with these so I can put an end to my search for a while. If not there going back and I will continue the search. Prob will just go to DIYSG.

They are heeeereeee!! Will report back with sum first impressions? And pics after I open them. Does anyone know if the woofer going to need break in as well?
Speakers don't "need" to break-in. You can't damage them by just using them.
Now if you are wondering if they will benefit from improved sound quality after break-in? That's a highly debatable topic, and you can search AVS and find plenty of debate over that. My recommendation is just use them as you would normally use them and not worry about it. If they will benefit from break-in, they will break-in just fine from regular use.
So I did a very very fast listening today with some music. But it was just on and playing with out me sitting there and really thinking about it. Mind you I just plugged them in and hit play. So the system was still EQed to the sho-10 speakers that were here before.
1) I noticed that they didn't have much bass or midbass like I hoped for but who knows. Hopefully that will change.
2) I'm wondering if I wired up the speakon connectors right and it's not out of phase. Which I'm thinking would give me the lack of bass and midbass.
3) after I run AUD pro would it help?
4) speakers sound pretty clear! After I run AUD and check the wiring I will give my final statement.
This is what it says about the wiring pretty simple and straight forward I believe I did it right. Will check after work today.
I did some more listening last night in 2 channel. I had the denon set 2 direct mode. Which I believe shuts off the EQ. so I can listen to the speakers. I had no subwoofers on. I played some test discs. Played some jazz and acoustic guitar music. What caught my attention right off the bat was how the speakers perceived space. And how well it imaged. I then paid attention to the bass and the midbass. I just didn't feel anything from it. I played some victor wooten. I also have a alto ts215 and they have much more low end. They are also powered speakers weather that has anything to do with it I don't know.
Either today if I have a chance I want to measure with REW and see what I'm getting and then run pro auddessy and measure again and see. Listen to some movies and music again and see what I get. Stay tuned. Hoping it gets better. I have faith in these speakers.
Yea I had it on a stand but it was blocking the screen. So I put it on the floor until I find something to go under It. So I ran AUD pro last night only in 3 places. The speakers sounded much better. I can't get over the imaging of the speaker I had to check on multiple occasions If it was on multi channel when it was on stereo. But after running I felt my bass was gone. I could barely hear or feel it. I feel as if it was being sucked out. So I re ran AUD but I ran xt32 with the plug in mic. And i felt like I had some bass back. But the speakers didn't sound as good.
Lol when you hear me say wow it's because the dynamics blew me away and scared the living POOP! Out of me!
