What was the second track Andy? The link is er broken for me : )
Solange - Cranes in the Sky
Yes Solange, the way the vocal is mixed sounded amazing on that system. The you tube link is working for me so must still be a bit temperamental
FYI
YT links seem to be working in both Chrome and Firefox on a windows pc but the same links don’t in the TP app on Android
Also working in Edge on windows pc
Just got me a pair of these Elipson Heritage XLS11 and a used Rega Brio R amp which means major upgrade here at MGG HQ.
Sounding great, now I just gotta get rid of some of the extra furniture so I can place them properly and enjoy. I only wanna party at home now!
(The speakers are a huge bargain. Their bigger brothers the 15’s even more so, but I opted for the smaller ones because they are a bit easier to move around…)
Lovely that
For me it’d be this lot:

I see master sounds are taking pre orders for their clarity a set up again, anyone have or heard these in action?
Cranes in the sky is wonderful. Didn’t realise it was Raphael Sadiq. went to the Devon Turnbull exhibition a couple of years ago and he played Kahil el zabar. Sounded incredible.
They’ve had them in SK1 for a bit, hard to gauge playing in a shop but they know their shit so I’ll assume they are v decent. I can also confirm they look the nuts.
Very nice design and build quality, looks like they are going for the DIY look with the birch ply cabinets. But 89db for the coaxial isn’t very good at all and the sub is listed down to 25hz, I’d be surprised to hear anything south of 50hz from that cabinet, but you never know till you hear them.
Lists it as digging down to only 65Hz. But it comes with a sub so you’d be crossing over around 100Hz anyway. Lots of cash for 2 powered low sensitivity coaxes and a mini sub, but if they sound nice, they sound nice. I bet with that little 200w plate amp they’d fill a small to medium room.
The sales point seems to be that they are plug and play and don’t need anything in the way of amps and cables, but you’re get something that looks like a Troels Gravesen speaker and hopefully sounds pleasing.
Those ATC 3 ways are probably the nicest monitors I heard when I was lucky enough to be able to listen to lots of different pairs, including full genelec range, dynaudios and some lesser stuff. 3 ways are lovely. I have Genelec S30s which I’m so so happy with as something comparable.
Played in a bar last night that had them with the master sounds Radius mixer . Sounded good to my ears .
If you’re handy with wood glue, a soldering iron and a screw driver - the talented Scott Hinson is selling his MEH horn as a flat pack kit these days. He’s not in it to make a profit, so there’s also free plans to cut (or have your local CNC shop cut) the wood and save on postage. It uses the now-open source Danley patent and probably sounds better than most high end speakers out there. Someone has developed a PA version too (the Hinson one is aimed more at home use), or there’s the ever-popular Syntripp that proceeded it. Might be of interest to some on here. Anyone can read more about it, but basically all your drivers come from a single sourcepoint inside one horn.
there’s a good idea.
How’s this coming along? Would love to see the finished result.
