New Saadhanas on order

[prem]

Finally have placed the order for the new Saadhanas Will get them once painting and some interior work in my house gets completed. So maybe about 2 months from now should have them up and running

Thanks Jai1611. Have you got your Saadhanas operational?

Almost. Got the positioning etc sorted and the amp hooked up. Everything up and running. Running them without the bass units for now - waiting on those to get back from service before doing the final tweaking.

Congrats Prem! Would be very keen to hear how new Saadhanaas improve upon V1.

 

[rikhav]

Congrats Prem

Tonally will the new Saadhnas sound different as they have their own driver now? Or they have tried to replicate the same character of the Lowthers as much as possible?

Thanks Shafic. Will have a meet at my place once the speakers are in

It will be my pleasure, Prem.

Amazing choice! I was totally bowled over by the new saadhanas when I visited the Rethm studio. I am certain that some time in the future I shall swing for a pair too.

Do you plan to retain the lyrita amp or are you planning to change the amp as well?

 

[prem]

Hi reignofchaos

I will be retaining the Lyrita amp. Its absolutely stellar. It plays in a different league.

Jacob was telling me that you were really impressed with the new Saadhanas

Hi ranjeetrain and rikhav

I am just going by Jacobs word that its a better speaker than the version 2 i have. Once i have it will post the differences

Yep I most certainly was. What impressed me the most was the tone and smoothness of the sound. The speaker had absolutely no glare or grain of any sort. Musical instruments actually sounded like the real thing. Also there is something really special in the way it reproduces female vocals. It is one area where I feel it has no peers and is in a class of its own.

 

[prem]

I agree reignofchaos. Its a treat to listen to Lata on the Rethms

Wow! Congrats, Prem. I'm glad to hear this. I'm sure you're in for an further enhanced experience!

 

[prem]

Thanks Hydra. I am sure it will be a better experience. Based on the feedback i have got i think it will marry the strengths of the Rethm Second with those of Saadhana Version 2. Rethm Seconds were very very good on the mids. The Saadhanas Version 2 speed and attack is amazing. With the new Saadhanas i expect to retain the speed, immediacy and the attack of the older version with better mids and even better bass integration
