You may think me mad, but I was so taken with the speakers you sent me, that like most human beings, I had to ask for more! Gluttony is a sin, but the appreciation of virtue is something quite different, and in this instance is one of the results of human creativity. Sorry to be so high-blown, but I've been enjoying music at home more than ever before - during the day, your speakers, Music Fidelity's 'nu-vista' amps (with a sub-woofer for the bottom -50-80 Hz downwrds) and Sony's exceptional SACD player, with a Michell Gyrodec/SMEarm/Koetsu cartidge; then, at night, I use Stax earphones with their tube power supply and a Music Fidelty nu vista CD player.
Good lord, I'm using 6000 pounds worth of headphones/CD to compare with your speakers, and know that the Newforms are more than a match. Anyway, I'm tired, but look forwar do hearing from you

I've had my 645's for over a year and have upgraded the xover with componants fron north creek music and I still am in awe of these speakers they are truely a work of audio art,I have in the year traded or upgraded just about all my equipment at least once but one thing will always stay ,the 645's awesome.

John,
My 645s arrived yesterday in perfect shape. They're up and running. Absolutely terrific sound right out of the box. Thanks for inventing and making such a terrific product. I'm sure I'll be enjoying these for a long time. Can't wait until the digital systems are ready. The sound must be awesome.

I would like to offer the same courtesy I have received from Richard Dolan. If you ever have a serious potential costumer, and they would like to hear the R645 beforehand, I would gladly open my door to them. My room is a lot different them Richard's room, as I think my room is a tad more lively with a much wider staging. To be quite frank, I find my system, not to insult anyone, better sounding!!!!! Again my electronics is not the most outrageous as it comprise of a SimAudio Celeste 4250se for the R645, an Anthem AVM2 for pre, a new Sony DVP NS900V SACD/DVD/CD player. All of these components are connected with simple Cardas Crosslink and as you already knew, I am using a home made Cat 5 speaker cables.
I have another question for you John. If so many people are tweaking the 645's, why is it you do not offer an "improve" version with the Blackhole 5 and the crossover network? I'll bet you could incorporate this to your speakers at a much cheaper cost what he could do ourself.

(we actually can't beat the prices of the customizers and everyone wants something different! Plus DSP crossovers are right around the corner. We are offering the terminal plates for external crossovers. John Meyer)

I've had the 645s you sent me for just over 2 weeks now, but have just recently had the time to seriously listen to them.
Of course, I immediately noticed the smoothness and detail of the ribbon. The bass response is also quite impressive, if a little boomy in my current set-up. The composure the speakers retain at higher volumes is astonishing, and I find myself listening louder than I used to (maybe not a good thing...)
The pair I have were "demos" you sent in place of the 630s that we had decided would be better for my room. You also suggested that if I wasn't happy with the 645s, I could return them for 630s when they became available again. I regret to inform you I will not be doing this. I have become quite fond of the height in the image they project, and will keep them for that and the other points I mentioned above.
I haven't sent in the "warranty" card, but will do that this week. I am nearly at a loss for words in expressing my pleasure with these speakers. I have threatened to take them to a dealers store to stop him from questioning my decision, and I may just do that. Everyone who has listened to them is very impressed, but no one as much as myself.
Consider me a convert.
Thank you for your time, advice, honesty, generosity, and great products!
Bob C
