Troels,
First of
all, thank you for all of your help during the build. Couldn’t
have done it without your help.
I got the idea to build these over Christmas, 2022 to be Christmas
presents for my two boys (ages 26 and 29). This is likely the
nicest Christmas present they will ever receive. My boys knew this
was going to be under the tree so they got daily updates/photos of the
build over the two months that it took me to build four speakers.
As for my impressions, these are LOUD speakers. I wouldn’t say
that the sound is as refined or warm as the Quattros I previously built,
but these speakers will fill up a pretty large room. The bass is
unbelievable. I expected that as the Fusion 22 uses the same 12
inch driver that is in the ATS4-HEs that you sold me a few years back.
The Quattros obviously can’t move the amount of air that the Fusion 22
moves. The bass was so substantial that I changed the R1 resistor
to get a little more treble. To my ear, this balanced the speaker
a little better but I probably have some
NIHL that needs some compensation.
Pictured below are the two sets of speakers - one pair being powered by
an Anthem pre-amp/amp and the other being run by my VTL system that
normally runs the ATS4-HEs.
Needless to say, my kids are very pleased. They have already had
listening parties to impress their friends. They will never need
another set of loudspeakers, but they know where to look if
they ever want to build some.
Best Regards,
Robert
