Just an update as I have been encouraged to post by some members who I was in pm contact with:
Under Matt's spell, I mean guidance, I ordered the petite latours to finish my Shindo system. The amps are gm70, pre is massetto, and source is a garrard 301. (update: I replaced the Masseto with a Giscours) The speakers are a few months to arrive. I don't have either the golden ear or descriptive skill that most here possess, so I won't be the most help on questions! The irony is I became interested only after tagging along with a friend, who for a certain reason became less interested. |
Wow! Just wow! Sounds like a hell of a system you've got there. Congratulations! We'll count the days before you move up to the big boy Latours ;)

The big latours are what I really wanted and much discussion went into whether I should just get them. While the room size is probably ok acoustically, the WAF is marginal at best now even with the petites - even though it is not the living room! - but that is true for any full range speaker, not unique to these. |
Richard.......The Shindo Latour's will be the icing on the cake. The Latour's are far more beautiful than the old Altec Voice of the Theater speakers I had back in the late 60's, but the two-way design concept is very familiar, 15" short throw woofer with a horn mounted compression driver, and very high efficiency. Your new Shindo Latour speakers should be the last piece in a magical sound system. Congratulations.

But as I note just above, it would be surprising if I didn't order those within 4 to 6 months, or sooner as I can slip them by visually. I figure I can learn more on the petites now so really appreciate the latours later. My room is only small/medium at 14x19 so that's a consideration. |

Fortunately far enough away that I am out of the spell range. Matt was kind enough to spend time in my room and we thought hard about which speaker would be best. He has been a reliable and trusted source of guidance. |

I certainly read his descriptions and looked at the photos. Like he did, I ordered them unheard. But a friend with trusted ears heard them back east as well, in addition to Matt, so I am certain I will love them. I second guess my latour decision - petite vs big ones - regularly but I really want to avoid an "absolutely not" WAF reaction... The end point will just take a few months longer perhaps. And I know I like that. (Updated below - the petites look and sound great! Shouldn't have been a concern...) |
Did you order the field coil version of the Petite Latours?
