Title: So, it's about 6:15am

It's about 6:15am. I'm listening to Bon Iver. I've been up listening since about 1am.
I picked up a pair of Betsy speakers - Randy's OBs really impressed me at the last Decfest, it was really the first time OBs made me go "I need to hear these in *my* setup" I've had the drivers since the first week of December, but only tonight got a chance to drop them in some quick and dirty open baffles...literally just some 3/4" MDF cut out to 24" x 24" with the driver counter-sunk flush on the baffle and screwed down. Cheap ass lamp cord type wire that I quickly crimped spades on one end, banana plugs on the other, connected to my ZMA.
4-5 hours goes by and I just keep clicking through my music.
I've got this huge wall of sound. The music just jumps into the room. I've not measured out placement...I didn't even match the angle of the baffles, I just leaned them up against my MG944, first on the inside of them, and now on the outside of them. HUGE, room filling sound.
From the first note my ears perked up, but then I was like...meh, no high end extension and weak bass...then little by little, it all come out. The ZMA does it's thing where as it warms up it gathers up steam and goes from a trot to a gallop, and the speakers warm up, break-in, bloom...whatever.
I'm really enjoying this. But man I need sleep.
Photos to come later.
