Everest DD55000 picked up and on the way home.

Thank you for sharing.
What about the stereo perspective?
I suppose the horns have a special impact considering direct and reflected soundwaves.

Unfortunately the space in my shop is very limited right now, so the DD55000's have been right next to each other as I listen to them.

I wont be able to try out the "defined directivity" until I get them in a bigger space

OMG, somebody actually got a pair!!! I'm glad you got them home safely. They didn't look as tall as I remember unless you are 6'8" or so. Keep me in the loop as you move forward. We can definitely hot rod these things. I remember the bass being super fast and tight, they do dump around 50 Hz, but that is easy to fix with a properly integrated sub. These woofers won't like bass EQ. It is basically a bass guitar woofer that I modified for this system. It has about a 100 dB sensitivity. The woofer is all motor and very low mass which is why it is so quick They will work amazingly with a good tube amp. The low damping in the tube amp will complement the over damped bass character and give some apparent extension.

Have fun with these things, they are very rare.

Thanks G.T.

It deserves some dancing bananas.




And you thought you were lucky actually finding a pair here in the state. Congrats on finding them BTW.

Looks like this makes you the best candidate to host the 4th Heritage Awards event.

Their ok speakers, not so rare here in the north europe, the tall speakers standing in the midle is infinity QLS-1 these are more rare here in norway. I also use tubes on them, and they sound big.
