My speakers got here super quick. For those who have requested a review. I'm going to hold out until all the parts get in (waiting on sub and D1). But for a short answer critique they aren't as bass heavy as I was lead to believe, but the sound definitely fills the room.

I'm shamelessly listening to the 80's right now.

Old Kay? No kinja, I meant the guitar.

Alvarez from 03'. Nylon string (made the mistake of not going full metal). It is a beautiful sounding guitar. I enjoy it greatly.

Ahh... The tuners looked like the ones on my old kay. It's not a mistake... you just have to learn to love classical music and tuning constantly.

I just don't think it sounds the same; especially when you use a glass slider. I like the sound of the glass on metal much better. I only bought it because I thought it'd be softer on my fingers to learn. I was right, but it came at a cost. I still appreciate the guitar though.

Everything I read is that it is bass heavy. I can see it where the times are a but warm, but I don't feel a thump. Does yours have a chest vibrating bass or is it more bass tones that don't reverberate through the air? I feel like it has very good treble, but will need a sub if I want heavy hitting bass.

I was under the impression the inboard amplifier would give more of a hit than I hear. sound clarity overall is beautiful.

Mine is for monitoring so I do hear a lot of music through them, but vocals are accurate, if a little lwo/mid heavy.

Vocals sound great. I just thought I'd have a little more bass. I was just worried drivers were broken. I wish I could hear a pair in the store to compare.

Don't forget you will have to temper the cones and magnets. I suggest turning them over into the carpet, turning up the sound (before distorting) and leaving a mix of music on for 12 hours, they will sound a little cleaner then.
