From the Home Theater Forum thread - the first report:

"Ok - The speakers are set up and the initial process of listening tests has started. Look for some pictures this weekend. The system now is an OPPO universal player, the Marantz 7703 pre-amp and the Axiom LFR-1100 actives. No processing is being used, and they are running full range.

Tonight, music auditioned was Roger Water's "In the Flesh" live SACD and the Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Session."

Both make for excellent review discs as both present some serious challenges.

"In the flesh" has an immense sound stage and in Pink Floyd fashion, all sorts of sound effects. "Trinity Session" is almost the opposite - it was recorded on the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto, and is all unamplified music using a single microphone.

First impressions are these speakers are extremely revealing and neutral. On Trinity, it is easy to place each instrument on stage and Margo Timmin's vocals are more "in the room" than with any speaker we have had to date. All the grandeur of "In the Flesh" hits hard and fast. The helicopter fly over as we enter "Another Brick in the Wall" lets one feel each blade thwap.

This is going to be several months of work - the speakers have already impressed, but there is a lot of tweaking to be done."
