I had 2 friends over to listen the other night and they were very
impressed. The soundstage is spectacular in the current setup with the
speakers 7 ft. from the rear wall and about 3 ft from side walls. I started
the listening session with some jazz played at a moderate level and they
were immediately aware of the depth and solidity of the soundstage. At low
levels these speakers present a complete sonic picture with excellent detail
making low level listening an enjoyable experience. When sounds fade into
the background they do so with a natural quality, maintaining there place in
the soundstage, that I have not heard before from any other speaker. The
Scan Speak woofers seem to have an ability to present low level detail with
a delicate and slightly rich sound that I find very natural. These qualities
are rare in conventional speakers. We listened to a wide variety of music
and the sound was never less than excellent. On the other end of the dynamic
scale I was able to startle them with the opening drum beats of Coplands
Fanfare For a Common Man (I had my sub on for this cut). The 645's handled
the high level horns in this piece with effortless ease. I am running them
full range and the woofers do not lose control and start to flop around when
deep bass is present like many other reflex designs I have auditioned. They
can sort out the most complex music at high levels without the sound stage
collapsing. BK As usual, thanks for your PROMPT response ! Yeah, I will do as you have suggested. By the way, I dug up some old late 60's/early 70's Reader's Digest RCA Dynagroove vinyls and boy, do they ever sound nice on the R630 (particalarly the strings and the airiness and depth of the sound-stage !). Thanks again and cheers for an excellent product (and great customer service) ! Henry B - a very satisfied customer Finally up and running, I think WOW sums up my impression of the R645. Thanks for your help in the completion my kit Mr. Meyer. Another Happy Customer, Dan K I love them. I am selling my Klipsch as we speak. In fact, I am amazed that I do not need a center channel anymore. Only one small thing happened during shipping. One of the plastic caps on the speaker terminals was smashed but it still holds the wire in. I was surprised to see how beat up the boxes get during transport. The packing is the only thing that saved the speakers from getting damaged. I am very impressed with your product. I am sure you we receive a few more orders from Houston as my friends get a chance to hear the speakers. Have a great week Chris I received the speakers last night. I set them up and got to listen to them briefly. Even after only two hours, I noticed definite changes in the sound. More depth and coherency. I left them playing today with my wife at home, just to speed up the break in process. Initial impressions: The sound stage is what I was hoping for. With no tweaking, they are open and airy. Nice presence! They are also quick, very nice attack. Guitar and voices are beautiful. And I know they will just get better when I get the Odyssey amp. The bass is better than I had hoped for also. Very tight. Not super deep, but you never claimed that. I will add a sub at a later point if I find I need it. I am hoping with some tweaking that I can get a little more oomph out of what I have! I was not prepared for how solid and heavy the ribbons are. They are tanks! So far, life is wonderful! I will fill you in as I continue to work on the sound. I am planning to plot out my room this weekend and fax the outline to you for any suggestions. Again, thank you for all your help and for the opportunity to purchase a world class speaker. Chuck p.s. My wife loves them by the way. She is more into classical than I am. We listened to some choral music and she was floored. She heard things she had never heard before. She even likes the looks of the pair. They are impressive! |
