New speakers..

As some of you might remember, I asked a while back about desktop sound systems for a work application.

I tossed many ideas around, and ended up buying a pair of Samson reslove a6's. I received them only to find one of the tweeters defective. To the distributors credit (birmingham recording) I got a replacement pair on the way in very short order.

I received my second pair, and to my dismay the same issue was immediately apparent. I tried multiple sources, multiple cables, I even took them to a musician's shop and made sure I wasn't doing anything wrong.. long story short I decided it was fate telling me that I should but the speakers I wanted all along...

So I ended up buying the Swan 200mkIII's. The spec's told me reference level response from 50hz to 20khz. I thought what about the <50hz stuff? So I bought a sub to go along with them..

Here is some Quick pics I took from my phone.



That's the pair on my table with the sub..

Here is a shot with the grilles off..



For those wondering that is a 250 watt 10" Samson long throw sub..

The combination sounds amazing, even before the recommended 80 hour break in period on the Swans..

Totally recommend these to anyone looking to enhance there computer, or iPod to sound to levels approching home stereo levels. (surpassing some htib setups by far).

Total price isn't the cheapest about 600 for everything, but for high quality sound...

Maybe they do go to 20khz, just at -40db. It never ceases to amaze me the liberty company's take with "specifications".

Take my mk200's, I even received a test report with my speakers. Now I hold no illusions that my speakers were measured individually and then sent to me. Why? I learned a long time ago, that company's are in the buisness to sell a product, and unfortunately most of Joe public doesn't have a clue.

So why would Joe public walk into a audio store and pay 1000 dollars for this PPI amp, that puts out 1000 watts, when sitting right next to it is a BOSS amp, with really cool blue lights, that also puts out 1000 watts, but sells for 150$?

Most of these speakers, amp, radio manufacturers that are based in (china for example). Don't have to follow the same standerds, nor can they be held accountable like if they were based over here. So in the end they don't give a f*%k.

Buyer beware, its your responsibility to buy the right product.

Even though I got this..



I know it holds no bearing to what is "real" world..

Today I was finally able to come into work a little early and mount the shelves I made onto my cart, and then mount the speakers to said shelves. I have decided that the subwoofer is overkill, so I am not using that in my work set up.

Quick pick of the speakers in there new home..

I will be putting the stock feet under the speakers once I get the right length wood screw. If you look atfthe pic with the speakers on the table there are rubber bottomed pads, but I took them off to use the stock screw for.mounting.
