I haven't posted much since Covid. I have been listening most work days as I work in my listening room - in my listening chair.
I haven't done much to my room or my system, but have made a few changes. I have to say my system is currently in "do not touch" mode. Everything just seems to be blending seamlessly and I have the best sound I've ever had.
While I had great intentions of building new baffles for my Crystal 10/LO15 OBs, I just never did and I'm using my temporary baffles a couple years later.

I also added a tweeter pointed upwards similar to the Liionidas design. That, I think I got better highs/air from. I just had a couple of high efficiency tweeters laying around and attached them to the little platform I built when I was trying super tweeters.
I also think I got a lift from mounting round wooden balls right over the top of the tweeters for better dispersion. I think this helped imaging.

https://imgur.com/gallery/FkQb3l5I have to say I am most happy with my bass. Really clean. Really musical. I really had hoped to get more time to listen to the W15 that Randy had in his room. Lots of factors so I don't know if this is a fair statement, but from what I did hear, I think the Acoustic Elegance are worth the extra $$$.
I am using a sub from about 40Hz and lower. Good vibrations without boom in my room.
So anyway, the PAP is moving very slowly. I do think about building new baffles, but that would mean that I would have to retrieve my Big Betsy's from ProggRob and he seems to be enjoying them to much to want to give them up.
P.S. I don't seem to be able to post images the way I used to - only links to photos. I'll try to figure that out
