Hello everyone, My name is Nick and I recently purchased some 250TI SE Speakers through AUDIGON. I want to thank everyone who assisted me with information about finding a pair of my "dream" speakers. Anyway, I have a few questions about this speaker but first I will describe my system as some have asked. I will also post pictures of the speakers from work tomorrow. I purchased them for $3400 and they look as new, although they will need a refoam now that I have played them loud. My system is at the bottom. I listen to mostly classic rock, jazz and classical. My original speakers were NHT 2.9 and Infinity RS-1Bs which I still have.
My initial question is: My JBL speakers seam to be really really harsh in the vocal area. I have tried different XLR Cables and MIT speaker cables and ven swithed in a Parasound 2200 MKII and a set of Aragon Palladians but the best I could get was with the set-up below. The timbre of the voice just is not right. My room is dedicated and is in a daylight basement that's 12.5'x28'. The speakers are on one end of the room, about 7 feet apart and several feet from the wall. The room is carpeted and has some furniture and built in shelves.......The seating position is about 12 feet out from the speakers. I have tried moving them around. Thanks
