You're awesome, they look absolutely fabulous. I'm really jealous, would love to get my hands and ears on a pair. Take some good shots and get them up on BT and CL today. Bam, done.
xo, Biggles
I been looking for a reason to re-subscribe. Time to do just that.
Ditto.
I couldn't believe the way the Infinity's (early shot) dwarfed the 601. What were those Infinity speakers? 15" woofer? Gads.
Based on your review I'm thinking I'll like them. Maybe some day some will pop up nearby.
Nice work!
Thanks very much. I been listening all afternoon, and I just keep trying not to like them, and failing.
Last night I spun Amy Winehouse "Our Day Will Come" and those little Pioneer SP-B22-LR speakers were just
uhh-maaayyy-zing. Could really retire the hunt with only those. I jest not.
But today, listening to these 601's, it reminds me of that thread where Brent was considering tossing it all due to bad ears. My ears are horrible, and while I think perhaps once I cross the 10 watt threshold I'm missing those fuse lamps (anyone know when those would start to dial back the highs?) I am really GROOVING to these. The highs are high, the lows are low, and sound is everywhere. No such thing as the sweet spot. The entire room is the sweet spot.
They're FUN! Forget analytical, forget imaging. They're just a hoot.
A tad too much sibilance, but really engaging, and isn't the music what it's really about? Or is that the hokey-pokey?
Those Infinity's are the much-maligned SM152's. 15'' woofer. Parents bought me those, so I cannot ever part with them. Already regret selling my Stratocaster they bought me (and 50 watt Marshall stack) so they stay. With work, they're not as bad as everyone makes out.
I think the reason it is so fun to bash those speakers is that Infinity should have known better. Corners cut everywhere.
Anyhow, gonna hurt a little to see the Bose go.
