Three weeks ago my wife stops me and asks what I kept looking at on my I-phone. I handed her the phone and she says wow those are pretty, yes they are and sound good I would think. She says could I put those in the living room instead of those BIG infinity thingies. Why yes of course you can honey all you have to do is buy them. She said go a head get them I like them; my jaw hit the ground.
They arrived late Friday afternoon, naturally I had to pay to play. So I spent plenty of time doing honey do's and finally got them out of the crates Saturday afternoon.
That was half the battle, getting them into the house took two men and boy to lift and carry. They say they weigh 145 lbs. each and they felt like solid lead to manhandle.
Out of the box I wasn't sure I was going to like them. Bass was massive and a little boomy. Midrange was good and highs the same as Infinity emits. At first blush they sounded very neutral, which isn't bad, but not what I was expecting or hoping for.
Sunday I invited Cdfac over and I spent some more time with them. I turned the bass gain down to 4.5 from 6 and wow things started to change big time. All of a sudden the bass was tight and outstanding, midrange seemed sweeter.
Chris came over an hour later and we tuned them a little more and settled at bass gain of 5 and now I'm very happy with the 6.1's. :thmbsp:
