Yeah well, that's what those owner's manuals are for...

It's nice to see a forum member with a pair of these.

G.T. also did a floor standing version which never made it to Production.

One thing about WAF - if the loudspeakers sound really good women grant extra leeway.

thanks that was very interesting.
I was able to expirience this effect at first hand. The moment the batteries were placed they sounded less tight then 3 days later. Everything seems more balanced now and i think they have reached there peak.
first day there was some moving around by the individual instruments now there's great pin pointing.
It seems the effect of the charged capacitators has more influence in the higher and mid range of the audible spectrum than in the lower regions.
