Lovely post Derek, well done.Derek wrote:I’ve had these now since July and don’t regret the purchase in any way.
I didn’t think there was much more to get from them but after six months I can say the bottom-end has deepened and any slight running-in-edge (really only noticeable on a very few recordings) has been sanded silky-smooth. Vocals have breath and weight, realness if you like.
To repeat my initial post, dynamics are to-die-for and micro-dynamics just beautiful, a window to the music.
Non-HiFi friends on occasion will bring something they want to hear. I’ve gotten used to the, “is that the one I brought?” question.
At present I’m listening to “Johnny Hartman & Oliver Nelson” – “I Love Everybody”, turned up to gorgeous and the speakers know exactly how to provide the listening pleasure. Details in this recording can get lost in reproduction but not here.
Last week I was listening to a new purchase “Tony Joe White – HooDoo”; the guitar chops were immediate and arresting, his gravel dragged growl a throat-cut away from inaudible, every pop from the snare and guitar lick just took you deeper into the swamp atmosphere filled with alligators and chainsaw riffs. I was afraid I was going to turn the amp beyond 11.

Re: Eist Dubh
Many thanks for the kind words Derek & all! So glad you are enjoying them - as I do myself. Of course I think they are the best thing ever (I would say that) and like you, I think they do bed in even further after extended playing. All drivers are run in continuously for a week before assembly, but even so extra time on them improves the sound further.
As I mentioned before - the telling point for me came he day I realised they sounded much better than my quads which were always a reference for me.
Onwards and upwards!

Yep, I remarked on that too, at the time & couldn't believe it, either!Fran wrote: As I mentioned before - the telling point for me came he day I realised they sounded much better than my quads which were always a reference for me.

Well done & continued success.
