Thank you. Theyâre a German loudspeaker manufacturer, just like Elac, Adam Audio or HEDD, to name a few. They go down to 18 Hz, so the bass is there. Iâm experimenting with their positioning (for soundstage and imaging) before I use the miniDSP/Dirac Live to room correct them.

Just found what I hear is the best sounding position of these speakers. I pushed the equipment as far back into the room as possible and got rid of the table stack so that it doesnât interfere with the midrange driver and tweeter reflections as much (got that tip from one of Paul McGowanâs videos. Theyâre very entertaining.). And here is how the setup looks now:
I also changed the crossover settings so the the midrange (200-2800 Hz) and treble (2800-40000 Hz) are down by 1.5 decibels. The listening position is quite close after all

My current endgame rotation. Have the D90 and A90 stack as my reference gear. No itch to upgrade this. Have the Millet Hybrid Minimax with some NOS tubes just to change it up a bit if I get bored lol.
Zmf Atticus, Focal Clear, D7000, HE-500, HD800 SDR I feel like iâve covered most bases here.

How are those D7000. Been reading about themâŚwhat are your impressions?
There is no mistaking that they are part of the Fostex family when it comes to sound. They sound very similar in FR to my friends TH X00 purplehearts. They remind me of a TH-900 that is slightly less V-shaped.
CURRENT ENDGAME :
Speaker System :
Iloud micro speakers! I literally just hook up my music with Bluetooth to them (altho eventually I probably will connect them cabled with my xduoo plus /opamp). LOVE THEM perfect for my small room (4 by 9 feet or so)
Headphones : Focal Elegia. Use them for music and also monitoring my voice
Koss Ksc75. Use them for phone calls
Sony Wi-c200. Use em for excersise, and some general house use
Microphone: Samson Q2U. Iâm on phonecalls very often. Altho recently did use it with my sister for some karaoke lol
Blindfold: Walmart 2 dollar blindfolds. I enjoy music more if I close my eyes but Iâm terrible at maintaining them closed so I cheat and use blindfolds
Edit : changed stuff around, updated it. Blurred out the pics of my family members to not doxx em lol

Is that Elegia inside a Nighthawk case?

Thatâs EXACTLY what that is lol. Elegia case is cute but useless. In the hawk case my entire system fits, amp/dac, cable, headphone, phone (music source), and extra shit

Iâd love to have a listen with thise Elegias. How are they in comparison to any headphones youâve owned in the past?

I wouldnât say useless, if you are rocking a Hip Dac that is. Fits beautifully. Definitely wouldnât be any help with your XDuoo though. I see you are rocking the Elegia and the KSC75 on the daily. They live in my Elegia case and go everywhere with me as well.

My kind of therapy. Iâm sure it allows you to listen more critically or on the other hand, relax more.

Do you have a link to where you got this shelf system youâve got set up here? I like it and it would be perfect next to my desk.

They along with the elex that i used to have major in clarity,dynamics, and speed. I would say those three things are the stand out features of them, the sound signature is a pretty refined neutral bright sound (i used to not find them neutral bright, buuuut after more listening and comparing them to other gear yeah i get it). Nothing much to complain about them, maybe more bass but for that you can pair to a warm amp or use a bass boost. If you have any particular questions or want specific comparisons i can provide that.
