That's it. I installed the attenuators on my SSP end (due to allowable space) but no matter. The attenuators will drop the level of your T12 LCR's 10db. Re-running Audyssey should set the levels to 75db. Adjust the crossovers to your preferred settings and check all the speaker levels with an SPL meter and you should be good to go.

Thanks RMK, will adjusting the x-overs to my own taste defeat Audyssey settings?

The Audyssey filters allow for adjustments in the crossover as those are dictated by the SSP/AVR. You should really read the Audyssey setup guide ... very informative smile.gif

I will take a shot at it. There were 3 of us that made it, myself and a friend, and nebrunner(I think).

The Noesis is a big heavy speaker. DD took a photo of us, maybe he can post it for some reference.

They sounded very good. We listened to a variety of music and a couple movie clips. I thought they sounded particularly good on the Nils Lufgren guitar track. Very loud and very clear. I think DD had them powered modestly for what they can handle so I can't imagine how loud they could be.

We also listened to DD's LS-6, and other than the low end, the Noesis sounded as good or better to me. But the Noesis are designed to roll off at 60hz, so that's just how they are built.

So overall thumbs up from this guy.

Well, I just ordered my slanted 8's. Right before I ordered them, I was going over a ton of threads about subs trying to decide what to buy. I thought that I had decided to buy two CHT 18.1's, but i kept going back to the demo at JTR and how good the cap sounded. I decided to with the cap. Jeff was great to deal with, as always, and I can't wait to hear my new setup (3 T8-LP's, 2 slanted 8's and one cap).

I'm sure the LS-6 line source sound very good. As for the Noesis, they will go as loud as you want and well beyond what any normal person would ever need. And, they sound great at any volume.

[SIZE]5[/SIZE]OMGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My speakers have finally shipped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was losing the plot waiting, especially after reading RMKs great feedback.

shipping was suppose to take 6 weeks, as i chose to bring them by sea (cost for shipping by air was rediculous -you could buy a Noesis for the price difference). Due to all the delays, Jeff sent by air to get them here sooner, particularly to avoid the christmas rush.

Here's the kicker - he absorbed the additional cost!

They'll now be here next week!!!!!!!!

To say that's great customer service is the biggest understatement of the decade.

Thank you Jeff!!!!!!!!!

I think this will cover Xmas and by bday tongue.gif

JTR and Seaton have a pretty strong following here in Australia.

With the strong Aussie dollar, their products are fantastic value for money when compared to the rip-off prices charged by retailers here.

Hell, even if the dollar was weak, they would still be good value.

Man I am sure you are just Stoked !!!
Looks like Jeff is "Putting Coin in the Karma Purse." Now we will see how his Australia sales go.
It seems like a good time with the dollar worth so little. I am excited to hear your thoughts and of coarse
read your review.
Free air shipping that is Good Luck
Wow and Congrats

Really? you might want to check your sources on that one.

In any case, he's a good bloke who is about to get some of the best HT speakers ever made ... cool.gif

So if that occurs a speaker gathering at a local Park is in order ---- and being discussed by the KC crowd. Assuming the weather cooperates (we are in November currently!!! redface.gif) we are thinking of taking several pieces of equipment (my Caps, and a few other selections of local speakers owned by enthusiasts) out to a local shelter house (one isolated as much as possible of course) and spending an afternoon barbequing and listening to to a selection of speakers outside with good food, good drinks, and good company!

I'm in for sure - but you are right about the weather. I know this weekend is supposed to be nice, but you probably won't have the speakers by then.

I don't even know if Jeff's demo Neosis speakers are actually headed to KC. DD said it might be a possibility. Either way I'd love to meet in the park for this type of meet before the year is out!

While I'm on the topic of speakers I have to hear... I found myself surfing for a pair of used LS-6's today. I don't want to tackle the job of assembling these, but from what I've heard from pretty much everyone that heard them they are unbelievable for music. A great sounding speaker that looks like that (love huge over the top looking speakers/subs) is something I must have... oh wait.. I wasn't going to spend any money on audio anytime soon.... redface.giffrown.gif Still, I can't help daydreaming about the Noesis for the front 3 for movies and a pair of LS-6's for music... and I haven't even heard either yet. I have a problem.

Amazing doesn't begin to describe this film and the Noesis and Orbit Shifters are the perfect combo to make this film an unforgettable experience. If you have JTR's (or a select few other speakers) and haven't seen it ... do it.

Thanks for the tip on this one Brady, it is an absolute must see and a no-brainer buy. This should be Jeff's demo room demo for the Noesis cool.gif

Thanks Chris.

Will def be posting up a review and plenty of photos.

Speakers should be arriving into the country next Tuesday, which means I should have some impressions up next weekend.

This weekend, I'll be rearranging my lounge room to fit these bad boys.

I finally had my room set up to run Audyssey today. In my new space, even the T8's were pushing -12, the center channel hit it and the other 2 were -11.5 as was the S2 with the gain set to 0.

I turned down the gain on my amps and reran Audyssey. The T8's ended up around -8.

I realized a couple of days ago that part of the problem I was having getting the S2 to blend with the T8's was the fact that I was playing the music on all channel stereo and the SSP thought it still had 4 additional speakers playing when only the LCR were set up. Now that my SSP knows there are no surrounds and I have the levels properly set, I am in audio heaven. I can't wait to get the rest of the theater done so I can watch some movies.

I will have to put Art of Flight on my list as one of my early screenings.

Jeff e-mailed the KC gang and the Des Moines gang last night, and verified the Neosis is coming both of our ways to demo for our respective groups.


Very cool!
