RE: Devialet Ensemble System - ogs - 08-Oct-2014 I've had Kef Q300 for quite some time. I also had LS50s at home for a weekend, but this was before SAM (actually before I upgraded my D-Premier). In addition LS50s were only partly broken in. I modified the cross over for the Q300 and got very good results, but with the reflex port in front and a less than ideal cabinet I had to move on. The LS50s have a transparency in the midband that Q300 could never achieve, even with the best possible network components. I doubt that LS50 can give me the bass I want, even with SAM. Reports for Devialet's Ensemble describe just what I'd like. A combination of my 250 and SAM'ed GT1s seems just right.. white GT1s on white Atacama Nexus 700mm stands = very high acceptance factor RE: Devialet Ensemble System - Flashman - 08-Oct-2014 (08-Oct-2014, 13:29)ogs Wrote: I've had Kef Q300 for quite some time.

They look great! Guillaume RE: Devialet Ensemble System - Flashman - 09-Oct-2014 (09-Oct-2014, 11:36)GuillaumeB Wrote: They look great! Not as nice as your system Guillaume mais ça marche très bien pour moi ! RE: Devialet Ensemble System - Martyn - 13-Oct-2014 Looks really good Flashman! I'd be really interested in hearing the GT1's. Have not had a chance yet. RE: Devialet Ensemble System - wikeeboy - 14-Oct-2014 Does anyone know the difference between an Atohm GT 1.0 and the 'Special Edition' version in the ensemble package? The original has a tweeter adjustment dial on the back so you can adjust to +1.5db, 0, or -1.5db. It also has magnets on the front for a grille. Are there any other differences? RE: Devialet Ensemble System - rik - 14-Oct-2014 Not that I know off. The tweeter adjustment is taken care of via SAM and it (to my eyes) looks good in the gloss white. That's it as far as I know, Rik PS: You get a nice pair of bags to carry the speakers in! RE: Devialet Ensemble System - Flashman - 15-Oct-2014 (14-Oct-2014, 13:17)rik Wrote: Not that I know off. Rik has got it right. You do also get some Atohm thin ZEF speaker cable. I saved 'em and used more robust cables. What is amazing is that special edition can plumb down to 25Hz! I love my pair! Here's what Devialet says on its web site: Unique design by Devialet Power handling : 100 Weff Peak power : 200 W Impedance : 6 ohms Sensitivity level : 89dB/2.83V/1M Frequency response with SAM® : 25 Hz (- 3dB) Cut-off frequency : 2,5 kHz Atohm ZEF mini speaker cables RE: Devialet Ensemble System - f1eng - 15-Oct-2014 (08-Oct-2014, 13:29)ogs Wrote: The LS50s have a transparency in the midband that Q300 could never achieve, even with the best possible network components. I doubt that LS50 can give me the bass I want, even with SAM. I believe that all SAMed speakers have the same bass frequency response specification to 25Hz, though I would imagine there is a big difference in the maximum loudness capability at 25Hz between the LS50 and bigger speakers! |
