In fact i posion the owner to upgrade further to flat copper foil inductor soak in wax for more harmonics n separation..hehe Have you done similar a similar thing to Monitor Audios Silver Speaker?i have removed the tweeter bypass cap 0.1uf as its not needed since the new main value caps are of similar grade unless its a sonic teflon caps. the speaker will be at my place in PJ till this sat only.

QUOTE(fx20 @ Nov 20 2014, 12:30 PM) Mr Lai, you should go and audition it, it is like once in a life time chances, And Chance GRABBED! The Speaker sounds... FANTASTIC For THAT price range and the size the sound is AMAZING!!! The detail, VERY TRANSPARENT!!!! I am sure the setup had something to do with that... Now that I have the chance to listen to the "upgraded" version, I really look forward to hearing it before the upgrade. MR LIM!!! When is your set arriving!!!! Seriously people, especially the ones who are looking for your first pair of Hifi speakers, seriously consider this!!! My Two Sen |

QUOTE(fx20 @ Nov 22 2014, 10:27 AM) The stock crossover is a better one when compared to the original ones. You still have the smooth high, clear mid and punchy bass. Okay. Will "sibuk" him this coming week.Lim is playing with the speaker now. |

QUOTE(fx20 @ Nov 24 2014, 09:04 PM) We have heard good result with Topping TP60, Marantz Stereo amp, any modern tube amp. It's all depend on your budget. I have a number of serious customers driving the speaker with 2x Emerald Physics EP100.SE as monoblock and the sound was stunning from high to low frequency. siles1991 from the mouth of the master himself!! Anyway, the speaker is versatile and easy to drive.  |

QUOTE(fx20 @ Dec 2 2014, 04:22 PM) BTW, we are working on a really good amp in USA right now, it is 200w each channel, with optional bluetooth streaming and 5-band equalizer. Mana... MANA!!!? Preliminary test was mind blowing. It is a perfect match for Encore. Priced around USD500-600.  Can Monoblock? |
