I like these speakers. I have never heard them but they are certainly well-regarded by the audio press and owners alike.
That said, every time I see a picture of these there is a fleeting recollection of the the Death Star from the Star Wars (A New Hope) movie.
Do these evoke that imagery for anyone else?
(I am also a fan of IsoAcoustics products.)
Enjoy.
yeah - didn’t buy them for how they look, or would’ve waited for the blue to be available in the Meta. I don’t look at gear a lot. Actually, I guess I should say that I see gear all day long, one way or another, so I don’t sit around admiring it. Otherwise I’d have paid extra for black in these possibly-ugliest-color-ever PSI’s.
Got a new desk for my studio, and it has integrated, solid steel IsoAcoustics on rails. Pretty cool. You can get additional sets and mount multiple monitors.
Neat rail system
On the Argosy Halo line. Nice build quality on the stuff. Pondering a Flock Patch to tie everything together. Pretty spiff unit.
Yes; very cool.
And, I like the look of the little Death Stars by the way.
If they come out with a Blade 2 Meta, I’m in trouble. Was never impressed with the old version at shows. These, I can listen to all day. Preferably with sub(s) as with P3’s.
I have had three different friends purchase the Kef LS50 set up (active version). Two of them were woman. I believe they are a great way to introduce folks to an audiophile experience with a main stream convenience and form factor.
My daughter lives in Costa Rica, I’ve convinced her to buy a pair. White with white stands in her fancy place on the west coast…open balcony. She will love them!!
You can drink all yo likka down in Costa Ricca
No idea about the actives vs. the passives, as in some ways they are different deals, but based on a fair amount of recent experience with putting the passive Metas on various amps, I wouldn’t want to limit myself to internal class D (or whatever they are) amps.
Absolutely love these. I have the active version (gen 1) and they bring happiness.
On loan for a few weeks. Meta’s. WAF through the roof and they even sound fantastic (ugh!).
What Make is the Keyboard ?
Native Instruments S61, for the Komplete Kontrol it offers. An 88-key Fatar for the more realistic feel.
I’ve got the original S49… amazing bits of kit!
Very cool looking speakers.
Thanks, they’re transmission lines using Jordan Eikona 2 full range drivers.
The toe-in appears to be quite severe or is it an optical illusion?
That’s cool. Back in day I had a Roland SH1000 (same like the one Steve Miller used on Swingtown). Also had a little Yamaha DX100 which was fun and a cheap intro into FM Synthesis (big in the 80’s remember - ugh!).
I haven’t played in so long. Last year when I met Gus, he was going to let me try out his Behringer rig since the Modular Moog wasn’t up and running. I was shy and embarrassed and didn’t take him up on his offer. What a nice man !
