Hi,
no there is none around me that had them in so had to take a punt, dnagerous i know but iv heard good things about the speakers, surely i cant go to wrong with them?
Ah is that how long it takes? i was hoping to get them sometime next week!
How you getting on with your 6's? any weaknesses if any ?
i like the 6s i think they are are very good speakers but i did demo them first i ended up buying the demo pair for £75 cheaper as they were ex demo but the shop only had them for 3 days as a demo pair so they were not run in much and the sales staff liked them too and wanted a pair for them self's as they were that good and i did not want to wait for a pair to come from dali so glad i got the demo pair but glad i got them as they were a good choice . weaknesses i can not find any so far but i would not use sliver speaker cables with them as i thought i would try some that i had laying around and found it made them sound a little bright on the treble so cooper cable works best i thought with this but also comes down to what amp you are using with this speakers too but i have run 2 makes of amps on this speakers so far marantz pm8005 - abrahamsen 2up both work well with this speakers but as you know you have spent a lot of money on something that you have not had a demo on but sure you will like them ones they are run-in are you from the uk ? and did you get any money off the 8s as they are £2000 in the uk and what amp are you using with the 8s ?
Yes i wont be using silver speaker cable used it before and makes speakers sound very bright, well did with my monitor audios.
I also need to sort the room out acoustically and am planning on using acoustic egg foam and place them behind canvas drawings at the reflection points on the side walls and rear, i think this will help quite alot as the room is pretty bare atm.
i will use the speakers with musical fidelity 550K power amps and a5 preamp and my music streamer is marantzz NA-S11 so very decent equipment to match them. the marantz streamer is brilliant i have to say.
I got a very decent trade in to buy these speakers, i got £750 for RS6 fronts, RS-LCr centre and RS-FX rears. So i paid £1249 and got delivery included in this price.
How much room do you give beind you speakers and side walls? i think mine will need some room behind, my ones currently have 24CM behind them, do you think these will need more than that?
