DIY Loudspeakers: HOME INDEX UPDATES RESPONSE WHAT'S NEW

ScanSpeak Illuminator-71, built by Leo |
Troels, I finally got the Illuminator 71s up and running. My first impression was underwhelming, I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about. But after some 8-10 hours of playing they came alive, the dynamics are spectacular with fantastic clarity. Bass isn't as extended as my Discovery 861, but has much better definition. To burn them in, I have been using my push pull 2A3 amplifiers, and they have no problem driving them to decent levels, which is a huge surprise. My intention was to drive them with my LFD amplifier, which I may have to revisit. My wife maintains they are ‘large’, but then
complains, they need more bass. Leo
