Description

This system brings lots of enjoyment. My room is 20 feet by 30 feet with 12 to 18 foot ceiling. This is a very open and live sound not much damping to the system.

If there is any way to get updated photos, that would be fun. I believe it can be a pain to do...just a kind request from someone who admires your 'old system'!

hoo-hoooooo! That's a recommendation if ever there was one! Nice...I will have to try to hear those. 2 other owners have been equally enthusiastic. Thanks! Enjoy!

JWM,

Are you at all considering the Echole cables which I believe the designer of Absolare also makes? I have heard unbelievably good things about them.

I don't know how I missed this thread...fantastic read from start to "finish"...hope its not finished by a long shot!! Congrats...I have heard the Altairs and Rockport probably are my favourite speaker line. I have heard the Arrakis and much older Merak Sheritan IIs as well.

As finely tuned as my system now is to my trusty old Wilson X1/Grand Slamms...which have been modified a bit...I often think of my next move...and Altairs are at/near the top of that list.

Enjoy!
