Greetings all,
New member and a old voyeur. I did not feel worthy until I was able to get my hands on a US built speaker. I picked up a lovely pair, the L5 for a 300.00. The drivers are perfect, and the cabinets are clean. I can’t tell you what it felt like when the Hafler fired up and bam.....the cat has left the room.
i was shocked what a 8” driver can do. No sub required. At moderate to low volume, everything sounds so clean, bottomless etc. I was a young kid when I went to the Hi-Fi shop in Ogden UT and slobbered all over the T series, and fell to my knees in front of the TI series. I have never been able to dump a large sum into my hobbie, but I managed a few Hafler XL amps, Nakamichi receivers, NAD int. Amp and a smattering of speakers from JBL L20t, 4311b, KEF c80, Mission 70, Definitive Tech, old Infinity etc. I never had my dream speaker, the L100 T. I could not lay down the cash.
33 years later, and I still hang on to my Hafler and Nakamichi gear. And some money stuffed guy sells these for cheap. After weeks of watching, I called and pitched an offer. He was shocked that they were still un-sold. Folks did not know what they are. They bypass these for Boston, or Klipsch towers that can’t come close to the sound these make.
i am at peace with mankind. Let us give thanks....
