Hi Troels,
It's been a while now since i built these speakers. I would like to
thank you for your help you have provided. Very quick to respond, and
advice.
It was a pure joy to assemble them. The crossover part is clear,
everyone with minimum DIY skills will be able to assemble them. Cabinets
where made by my dad, nothing complicated there as well. We chose Walnut
veneer, it blends nicely with Illuminator drivers.
To the Sound..Even straight after assembling, they sound awesome.
Jumping from my Proac D1 was huge blow. The sound came from these super
refined, crystal clear, bass super deep and controlled. VERY realistic
reproduction of music instruments and human voices. It made my
understand that premium crossovers seems to play big role in music
reproduction. These D1 where playing game of fun to catch listeners ear,
but Illuminators just fills up the room with everything you could ask
for. Something like a Rolls Royce vs Ford Mondeo. It seems now, that all
commercial speakers, I have listened is lacking clarity realism and
refinement. Taste of cheap dust boxes and 10p crossover parts...
Now I have done close to 150h of run in time, and dear they are still
getting better. More 3d layering, better soundstage, better bass. I'm
not sure is it synergy with my Ear Yoshino v12, but everyone looking for
a book shelf speaker, for medium to large room should try this. Pure
bargain!
Thank you for your hard work! Priceless.
Regards
Ignas
