Swing's are here (Swing)
After few months talking with Bert, making decision, paying , waiting for the boxes, opening and doing all the connections-Finally there is time for music.
I heard few of Bert's speakers at the past. They sound great, but I decided to go crazy and have the best.:wink:
I can go on and on saying why I like this speaker and why should you try to have those. But to put it very short- I find that GC's description about those speakers is accurate and clear as the speakers sound.
I would like to thank GC for all his mails sharing his experience of those speakers.
Bert, for his clear and accurate communication and for his speakers. One day I will try his amp and other goodies that he has to offer.
Meanwhile I use my Swing's with:

I think I have to a bit, you reporting so positive about our mail conversations. I thank you deeply for your encourragement.
Now that you finally found your self in the middle of real life music... then as we all do, we are looking further on to eventual improve sound.
But I am one of those believers, that we get most by having the speakers just right. Amp's and things like that, tweaks and other hokuspokus are just spices to personal tastes etc. Almost. :wink:
Now you have aquired yourself with the best speakers = monitors, then slowly start to explore what else could customize the SQ to your mindsets, values etc.
I congratulate you have made the first important step.

Hi Diz,
Thank you for your kind words and I am glad to read that you are just as happy with your Swing's as I am with mine... :ok:
Bert, for his clear and accurate communication and for his speakers. One
day I will try his amp and other goodies that he has to offer.
I can promise you that trying the Crazy line means keeping without looking back...
Thanks again and enjoy the music!

can you elaborate a bit on your amplification - a SET and a preamp? what tubes they use? any noise & hum issues?
Swing's are here
The SET
http://www.wavelengthaudio.com/kir.html
The main tube is
http://www.emissionlabs.com/datasheets/EML520B.htm#note6
As you see- a lot of power
The per amp is
Only 4 tubes (6299) in the entire signal path, a 4 chassis totally dual-mono construction and the power supplies use only polypropylene capacitors
Some tiny background sound when I near the swing but 2M and more –I do hear nothing.
