Man...How do you like them....I hear so much about them. What model? And how do they compare to the Linbrook II

Review demanded, Jaybo!

If they sound half as good as they look you have one hell of a speaker.

[atomicAdam]

jrhymeammo for the win!

wonder what Jim Salk will bring out here to CAS this year.

Hey jrhymeammo whats up? We dont see much of you these days...are you becoming a Drive By Poster? Stick around for a while.

Hey guys. I've been pretty busy with work and non work.
As far as speakers go they sound great. The only thing I was worried about was sound dispersion. The sweetspot is very wide and love the airy. I just gotta decide what to do with excess gear.

RAAL tweets sound great!!!!

...glad they sound good as well...

Right... always a bit nerve-wracking wondering if they're gonna get there without any damage...

Congrats on the Salk Song Birds! They are fine speakers. I've have heard the Salk HTR-3's and Song Towers at Frank Van Alstine's house. They are as you describe them and they have great synergy with AVA gear. Enjoy them!

Thanks guys.

I think these are HT1-TL, but who knows.
But, I do know that I'm not the original owner and these are the pair from below link.

As you would imagine, I'm not the original owner.
The sensitivity is rated around 84dB. I was worried my passive preamp wouldn't provide enough attenuation, but the system sounds just fine. I can play them much louder than anyone would ever want. I'm really glad because I was worried I may spend some money on another preamp...

Sorry, from the pic's I saw that they were 2 ways and thought they were the new Song Birds! Thats even better that they are the Veracity HT1's. If I had the money ($6K+) I would probably buy the HTR-3's and thats coming from a planar guy!

Enjoy the music!

They look very similar and just as beautiful as the Totem line of tower speakers.

I hope they bring a tt to the 2111 CAS. Van Alstine's ears are as good as anyones.
