The R1s are 340 hours in and strutting their stuff definitively, continuing to open up more and more every couple days of burn-in. Bass is now super-tight, articulate and accurate with extension and depth here that is making me very happy. The measure of any speaker is not just bass but the total spectrum.
The R1s have amazing mids and highs with gorgeous transient rendering in all frequency bands, wonderful spatial presentation, air around instruments, ultra-precise imaging and soundstaging in all 3 dimensions. I am hearing notes, instruments, voices and overall ensembles in amazing and new ways. The sheer mass and density of the cabinets on these is very impressive; seems to contribute further to the rock-solid and accurate rendition of every single note.
Extremely happy here with every aspect of how the system is and sounds,...
