I just got notice that my speakers are shipped and I got my mini torii all ready for them. I am very excited, just like I was last winter when I heard that my mini torri had been shipped. Good stuff to come, happy listening everyone

And Traps have landed! ;D First off I have to say that these babies were amazingly packed. It so nice to see such great care in the packing of these little guys, heh though I never expected anything less. All week I have been excited since I got the shipping notice and have to say the sound i am hearing it was worth the wait lol.

I finally got it setup in my small computer area and now begins the break in process.
My setup is:
lossles files from iMac--->Van Alstine Vision dac-->Mini Torii--->Traps.

So far I am liking what I am hearing, now just to give is some time and see how these little guys develop. I do love the size as when next to my computer its the perfect size and also the workmanship on these speakers are fantastic! Grin

Have a great day everyone

Well I have had the traps for awhile now and they have definitely changed with break in.....for the better!

I admit I really enjoyed the sound when I first got them but somehow things all across the board got better. Looking back I can see how they sounded a little congested when I first got them compared to now.
Yep very happy with these desktop speakers and as always well worth the wait! ;D

Happy listening everyone

Which with Decware speaker is a HELLUVA LOT. Congrats, and keep on listening!

Probably not as the bass radiates on the sides of the speakers. I find my pair to be immensely satisfying. I drive them with a little ZEN amp or the TABOO.

JazztoGo Senior Member Posts: 88	Re: Trapezium on the way :) Reply #7 - 10/14/12 at 16:41:23 Occasionally I find the bass a little boomy with certain songs but most of the time its just fine as I cant really do anything with the location currently. I took the setup into the bedroom to hear how it sounds with no wall to the side and its very open and tight lol.

Hello everyone,

Well I have just moved to a new place and have a better setup for my traps and the sound is much more open now as there is no wall directly next to one speaker

. I also just recently got the upgrades for the MT and so far just loving the combination. I catch my self at times forgetting to do work at the computer when the music is playing...ahh good stuff

Hmm looks like the future has me getting a pair of speakers cables from decware...darn good stuff they make

My friend and colleague next door often comes into my office when I am playing some real sweet jazz through my TRAPEZIUMS.

I was recently cursed with being furnished two monitors at my desk. This required me to reposition my speakers farther apart. I am getting used to the minor variation in placement, which does not really affect the wonderful TRAPEZIUM sound!

Well so far still loving the sound of the traps along with my recently updated Mini Torii. The other day not sure what happened but all of a sudden for me everything just became even more clear and clean sounding. I just love the clean sound from all spectrums, the bass, mids and treble

These have wonderful imaging and I had a friend over once and he just fell in love with the whole setup I had. hah

First post here, an opinion only. I own two pairs of the Trapezium's now and am amazed by them just about every day I listen. Due to moving, I sold all of my larger audio equipment and scaled down to a small Virtue Audio amplifier and a pair of Trapezium's last year. Now we moved back into the same house I had all the large gear in previously and I find that these little speakers fill a huge room that used to require much larger speakers. I never get any fatigue while listening either. I like to listen to these more then any speaker I have owned in the past. I sure hope Decware and Bob continue down this design path, what an amazing piece of equipment.

Hey Guys,
I am so glad to hear people as happy with the Trapezium's as I have been. They are a fun little speaker that does more than I thought they could ever do. I mainly use mine for 8' listening and Gaming in a small room. But whenever I need to move them to the living room for a movie, they just impress me every time.
Truly glad you guys have tried these out and find as much enjoyment in them as I have.
