Just a final summary of everything I have heard from the Spirit 1

Well the time has come. I have not listened to my stereo all week and when I turned it on I was heartbroken. I knew something was missing. The Spirit 1's. Then I remembered Lonewolfe lent me his TP Mini's ,so I hooked them up and VIOLA . The sound that was missing. Almost, except for the bass.The Spirit1 goes much lower. The Spirit 1's were gone and this was the only way to experience them again. The Spirit 1's have a very natural "you are there" sound to me. I keep emphasizing the bass only because they go low and bring out the lower registers in my music and add such a great deal of dimension. The imaging is superb, the best I have heard in my room yet. Cymbals are so real sounding that I get chills up and down my spine. I can raise the volume and the music is clear and precise and no distortion,effortless. Every instrument is separated from each other superbly. I never thought I would be so GA GA over a monitor , but I am. And you know what is going to happen now ?

Thanks to Bob Smith of Aether Audio for the demo and for making one of his designs easier on the wallet. And only because of no custom cabinet. Otherwise I think these would cost more than the Mini's.

Here is a list of associated equipment

Odyssey Candela
Butler TDB-2250
marantz SA15S1
Salk Songtowers

Since your a Salk Songtower owner Evan.....how did these two speakers compare during your audition ?

What were the strong and weak points for each ? Thanks..... :thumb:

To Tedb and anyone else from AC. The reason why I am posting here is because JohnR banned me back in June .
I can only view from my cell phone so that is why I saw your concerns

So sorry for the inconvenience

Got to bum this and laugh. These speakers have a suprising amount of bass ,even Bob Smith said he couldn't believe it until he heard them himself. I still have not measured them. Most members know Joe and I are neighbors in a townehouse community . He calls me today and asked me if I bought a subwoofer because he was hearing tremendous amounts of bass yesterday penetrating the walls. I said hell know those are my Spirit 1's pumping that stuff. They are beasts baby  :thumb:
