Hey all whats up?
It's refreshing when you go back to a customers house and find that you have been their many years ago. This was 2001 or 2002 I did a install in the basement for these very nice people. Whats even cooler I was with Tweeter(Bryn Mawr Stereo and Video) back then and now I did it with my current company.
It was a simple tweak and add on to their existing universal mx700 remote for the new Samsung tv they added. While I was there I did a full recalibration.
I have been trained by Sumiko on speaker placement and calibration for all Sumiko speaker and sub products. A few years ago there Rel sub stopped working and instead of repairing it they decided to replace it with a Paradigm as they don't use the system much for Tv or movies. They like to listen to cd's.
I gotta admit when I re calibrated the system which has the B7K ref 30 and Ref 7250 power ramp , it took me back to a time I once loved. Not only did I make their system sound the best it ever did, I went back to a place I had not been in awhile. I feel in love al over again with the Vienna Acoustics Mozart speakers and to top it off they where in Beech wood which is the exact color and model I wanted to get al those years ago and didn't like a fool.
The sound reproduction on them after my calibration was full and wide. Deep and clear. Accurate and fast. Super tight bass with no subwoofer for 2 channel. Amazing speakers and it took me back to exactly why I loved them then and still do today. What a hell of a speaker and mated with B&K well I call that a match made in heaven.
I used a Sony SACD player in Digital and 6 channel out for all my demoing.
