Telematic system

Do you have any updated system pics? Just asking because the pics in your first post don't seem to be working anymore.

Also, how do you like the Westlake Audio speakers compared to the Legacy or JBL's?

You can see the part of my system above. I will post a picture of a whole sysem bit later.

What is about the loudspeakers - Westlake Audio speakers without Trinnov sound like this



They have exellent cabinets and perfect drivers and woofers. But something strange with crossover filters. It's terribe. No bass, no treble, only dirty midrange.
But Trinnov makes some kind of magic. The result sound is very impressive!
I like bass especially. And sometimes it seemed that singer sings in my room live! Very realistic sound.

JBL 4365 are the wnners in price/sound quality contest. As far as I know, Americans use a word "bargain".
4365 don't need any roomcorrectors and high current power amplifiers. They are detailed but have not such good bass as Westlake Audio speakers.

Legacy Audio also are good speakers, have very very good HF with their AMT twitters. A lot of "air' and transparency.
But bass is humming sometimes. Also Legacy have not impressive, I don't know exact term in English, the size of a music image. The scale?

And I have another one rig with a Casta Acoustic bookshelf speakers. They are fantastic!!!
I highly recommend Casta Model A speakers to everyone!
They are not cheap, but it worth money spended.

I find that odd about the Westlake's. From their specs and reputation, I would think they would have a wonderful fullrange sound all on their own with no help.

I really like those little Casta Model A's. The mid-woofer reminds me of the old Altec 416 woofers with the vent screen on the dust cap.

Me too.
Especially after paying about $70K for these speakers.

Their reputation is "sell and forget"

I think that for this price they should send someone from local distributor to check the speakers.

But I only received useless advice - "move the speakers", "change the cables"

Wow. What a shame.

I guess they're too busy catering to the big recording/mastering studio crowd and don't want to be bothered with the "average" Joe Schmoe and their home systems. Who knows...

Maybe you are right.

But this is the part of a reputation.

Please forgive my rudeness but did you try a carpet or a rug on the floor? Treated or not with Trinnov or not that room looks terribly... empty!

I tried, but it was useless.
