Hi Peter

Your post really makes me smile :yes:

Smiling:smile: Not laughing?:lol:


It's just freaking

amazing !

Yes it really is!


Also, I know what a mental hard time Bert

had to again spend his precious time to something else than your creation.
But is was always for the good cause. And I obviously was the most happy
to serve as a second opinion, or the proof that in another environment the
Swing just makes YOUR day. Haha.

Yes Peter. Bert spent days and nights developing this fantastic system. Whenever I was visiting him, we spent days experimenting, modifying and tweaking.
Comming back home again, I normally phoned him to ask if the mod's still made him happy, but many times he already had moved further and improved.
However the biggest improvement was to replace the AER's with the modified and correctly filtered BMS driver. I did not have any share in Berts choice of driver. The only thing I did was to suggest a completely different filter than Berts. Listening to my own suggestions i became very embarrased:blush:
Berts filter were far better than mine. Ha ha...:grin:


The stupid thing is, there's hardly anything to tell once you can start
expressing things like "real sound", or "real music".
For now I will add another phenomenon, which may be subjective :
With the Swing, and when you close your eyes, the music is just in your
head, like with a headphone but now WITH vibes. With eyes open this just
doesn't work (for me). Anyway, also with eyes open, there's no "border" or
"plate" anymore where the depth of the stage sits. Edit : This will
be room dependant I think, and the more reflections you have, the better
it is. This phenomenon by itself is just one thing you MUST keep in mind.
I mean, as long as your are bothered by reflections or standing waves, you
need to start tweaking everything but the room itself. For that matter
listening at Bert's place is quite another experience (where the stage
*is* at some plate in the distance). This could be a matter of taste
though.

I have a listening room of 9x10x3 m's. Almost as big as yours. My listening distance is about 6 meters!
So I assume I can expect something similar as your learnings.

Yeah, the waiting sure is worth while !

Indeed it is:yes:
