thanks blackmoly.
they are 10" + 5" + supertweeter.
impressions after getting used to the sound and konting break in of the aaudio 3 way.
they're very detailed - echoes and other hints of the acoustics of a recording are easily heard. decay is top notch here, you can follow cymbals till they fade away completely. they just don't disappear.
transparency.. texture of instruments is also top notch. on my buddha bar albums you can hear the wood and the air of the instruments. try listening to siddharta's spirit of buddha bar disc 2. in the first track, i only got to hear the woodiness of the wind instrument played here once before and that was with an evs millennium 1b dac (i think i even had to use flac pa). with the 3 way and my lowly x-fi titanium those details are easily heard. i can even imagine the effort being put into playing the "indian wind instrument" (sue me.. i listen to weird stuff)
.
soundstage wise.. i didn't know you could hear drums at the back of the stage with regular cables on a pop rock recording (goo goo dolls). the 3 way really extracts all the information from a recording. heck i even heard in linkin park's hybrid theory the vocalist just a little to the left of the right speaker before coming out in the middle. that's linkin park ! don't think they spent on the recording. oh. they're very accurate too. it's either forward, neutral or laidback depending on the recording.
on audiophile cds i just can't begin to say how great they sound. they make my receiver sound like a tube amp. an expensive tube amp...
notes: a little harshness during the first few hours. fixed by tweaking cutoff / gain of the mid and supertweeter. this is just on the second day of having them. gotta break them in in the quickest possible time !
thank you sir for the good deal on the 3 way speaker and for the delivery and tech support. much appreciated.
