Hi guys! Just joined and saw this thead. Got the 9.4 two weeks ago with the help of Superman. Great service! The speakers were shipped to me in Baguio a day after ordering.
The speakers sounded good out of the box and improves everyday, it seems. After 10 days, I felt the mid highs had some glare. I changed the PBJ interconnects (dac > amp) with a friend's Madrigal IC (don't really know what model - its only a half meter) and immediately the sound smoothened. Great sound!
Since the 9.4 is not tall enough for the tweeter to be at ear level, I asked a carpenter to make a simple box (10"w x 12"d x 6"h), placed a 1 inch thick marble block (10"w x 12"d) on top of it, then placed the spiked speakers on top of the marble block. Perfect height, nice soundstage.
I'm quite happy with the setup which I'll list in case you can give advice /suggestions on how else to improve it:
Pioneer PD-T03 cdp > toslink (spdif not available) > MAudio Superdac > Madrigal IC > NADC320BEE > Midnight Plus > Diamond 9.4.
I've enjoyed going through the threads and have learned a lot which prompted me to share my experience. Hope it can be of use to someone.
Thanks!
