Since the design is frozen now, maybe you can make more of these gems. Hoping to have a listen on sat. How much would it cost to get a pair if more people are interested?

GATI 'Tracking' showing consignment ALREADY within Delhi .... so chances are that it should land up at my gates by afternoon. Have to get back from my office by lunchtime! That was fast indeed!

@ Hari ....... what should I say?
Have'nt heard them still .... no speaker cables available ... would now go out and buy them ... I ain't too much convinced about cables, so would settle for the ok quality ... there are many audio / audiophile outlets in my area.
What a lovely finish !!!!! :clapping::clapping: You were right .... the shade is dark enough with all wood grains visible. Daresay, I have'nt yet seen any speaker looking soooo great ... abso unconventional looks too ...
Really, don't mind paying the extra that you had been screaming on ... due to the high finishing costs!
Would also need to 'do up' the spare room where I am keeping this system (Stereo 3). Its currently 'decked up' with old rejected furniture ... also does'nt have the desired curtains ..... so, here comes extra cash outflows ..
And, my carpenter has still not supplied the custom rack that was ordered long back ... have to keep all 'here and there'.
One feedback ..... do not use the yellow tape for packing. It has left marks on the polished veneer ... the Delhi heat has melted the yellow colour component and it has formed a sticky yellow coating on the veneer (at stick points). Yes, it would come off .... need some whisky or rectified spirit. Can't do this with rum!

Also refer to my instructions mailed in the user manual before you install the speakers. The bass / mid-range signature could vary drastically based on the speaker placement in your room. Also follow all instructions in the Krell user manual and go slow. Do not get over excited as this could lead to damages.
Cheers and all the best for your audtion. I am excited to know the outcome by today evening.
You are an ***!! :lol:

So, David Oistrakh (Violin) gets the honours!
Purchased speaker cables (Nordstone) 2.5 sq mm @ 110/mt. Went slow ... did not crank up, and played at medium volume. Very very good outcome ... enough volume levels ... clean, neutral sound ... very good bass, even though violin concerts have pretty low bass in comparison to the other instruments ... and a very clean midrange. Let the drivers burn-in a bit @ 100 hours with this settings.
Have given a fair toe-in ... approx distance from the back wall @ 1.5'. Distance between the speakers (as the crow flies) approx 4'.
Yes, now have to dispose off the junk furniture lying around in the room for the SQ to improve .... AND further feedbacks regarding fine-tuning of the speaker placements welcome ..... could only be possible with 'physical' presence!
Forgot to mention .... the Krell is getting warm in the Delhi heat. Played for 30 mins and it was quite warm. The room does'nt have AC, so yet another expense to handle!

Thanks for the update.
Photographs required to see the setup. Follow the speakers user manual for more details on speaker placement. You can place the speakers around 0.5 feet from the back wall and around 1.5 feet from the side walls to increase the bass output by around 3dB. Try this placement and let me know the end result. Note that for a good mid-range you should place the speakers around 1.5 feet away from the side walls. Also toe-in at 60 deg angle for good stereo imaging.

Congrats AVD,
So today on wards you are going to have some sleepless joyful day and night..
We will look for clean testing info like distance wise/toe-in, why not now we will use some tape too ?
Enjoy the days ahead till your next upgrade

A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
