Brains trust- is the veneer on these imitation or real timber?
Brains trust- is the veneer on these imitation or real timber?
Its real veneer with a "fully locked" satin finish, you can't see the texture of the grain no matter what angle you view the finish on. Like Sonus Faber's but not 100% gloss.
Basing this on my previous S3900's I owned.
It’s a case by case thing and if you are a tweaked.
It depends if the original design would benifit from Biamping?
That is a question for the original design engineer.
Unfortunately without technically valid insights changes to the operational mode can make it different but not necessarily better. Like change crossover parts, attempting to Biamp.
My suggestion is listen to them for a while and have an open mind to setting up the system in terms of enclosure including height off the floor location.
An A class system can evolve into an AAA+ system with careful attention to setup which is not a 5 minute exercise.
Set up REW 5 is the next step and get acquainted with that as a tool to further refine the system setup.
The Parasound is a solid amp but it might be worth auditioning other amps to find the sweet spot.
Cool.
What l was alluding to was a demonstration where a pair of 4333 style were placed on supports the height of milk crates. While some room correction had been applied they were quite impressive in a large room.
So, forgive me, long time since I visited.
I have gone back to one pair of Lebehan Foilflex speaker cables, the sound is nicer if I use the supplied shorting wires between the terminals, hooking the red to the bass and the black to the mid/upper terminals. Nice. Next experiment is to try some Aurealis cables and maybe even some valve monos...thanks again all.
JBL is using reconstituted veneer on these models, which is a man-made wood product. The product looks better than plastic/vinyl veneer products but not as nice as real veneer.
So, guess what, the speakers sounded better with the Lenehan Foilteck hooked up as one pair and the shorting cables re-introduced. Smoothed out the treble nicely, sold one pair if Foil flex, thank you $$
Because that's what you were either expecting or thinking. With bi- wiring, if a distorted signal is going through one set of cables, the SAME THING is going through the other set going to the same speakerbox. Distortion comes from the AMPLIFIER, *NOT* the cabling (unless said cabling is too small a gauge or damaged)
