G'day Rod Cope Transport delivered the Joey 2's at 11.00am today- even the packaging was pristine! The guy clearly took care. They look good in all-black and replace some 10 year old Marantz speakers. I am trying the Joey 2's out with a vigorous Quebec trad ensemble - a demanding live CD: Thank you for the pleasure I anticipate from the Joey2's. I'll get little work done today as I discover nuances throughout my CD collection! Cheers, Ken PS. Feel free to use the above in your marketing. Hello Rod, I now have my speakers set up, except the Kurre's which await some brackets from CAV. This message is primarily to say how pleased I am with them. The Kantu's, are nothing short of fantastic. The realistic presence they give to classical, acoustic and vocal pieces in particular is nothing short of extraordinary - often breathtaking. Needless to say I am absolutely delighted with them. I have yet to install quality cable and upgrade my amplifier, but it is hard to believe they can get any better. Before making this choice, I thoroughly researched speakers made by Krix, Sonique and Whatmough speakers, having read in several places that Australian speakers on a dollar for dollar basis are the equal to any and often superior in build quality. At this stage, I was not even considering Legend but I was immediately impressed by both their sound and build quality. I have embarked on setting up a high quality sound system (within a budget, of course) and the speakers are the first instalment. I can honestly say they have exceeded my expectations and I am rediscovering my CD collection. Congratulations and many thanks. J E
Hi, I purchased a pair of Kantu 2 loudspeakers about 3 months ago from Carlton Audio Visual in Melbourne. Let me just begin by saying that these speakers are an absolute treat. I was made redundant when i purchased these speakers and i listened to them 8 hours a day for 2 months. I rediscovered my music collection. Everything from Underworld to John Coltrane, Mahler to Megadeth and a beautiful pressing of the Buena Vista Social Club on single sided 45rpm 8 record box. And like you say in the instruction manual, "Garbage in, garbage out." I totally agree with. I could really hear the compression in a lot of recordings, for the first time. And recordings that I thought sounded average with my last speakers sound inspiring. What initially attracted me to them from the competition (B&W CDNT9, PMC FB1) was how neutral they sounded (even though Brett Salwin spoke highly of them before I'd listen to them). I was also impressed on how the deep the soundstage was. Jazz and classical recordings, especially on vinyl, now sound better than their CD counterparts. The amount of deep bass also struck me by surprise. Underworld's Beacoup Fish CD sounded complete. The treble was sweet and never overly bright and the midrange just sung. And that's what I was looking for.I am running the speakers bi-amped. My system includes: Musical Fidelity X-A1 - driving the treble, 2 X-A50 monoblocs driving the bass. Rega Planar 3 with Ortofon MC20 supreme and ringmat products. Musical Fidelity X-LP phono stage with X-PSU power supply. Marantz CD-67MkII CD player and an old analogue Yamaha tuner. Cables are Cabletalk interconnects and Taralabs bi-wire speaker cable. They were positioned as per the manual, firing straight ahead with the tweeters on the inside. But Brett suggested that I have the tweeters on the outside and with a slight toe in. This for me, transformed the sound. Imaging was sharper with the centre image just hanging there. To close off I would like to thank you for making such a beautiful loudspeaker. They have brought out the best and worst (CD player) of my system. My 3000 CD's and 200 records have brought me joy. And I have left my 200 plus DVD's by the wayside. Thanks A C Dear Dr Crawford I absolutely love the Kanga 2s I have just bought. Very tight clean sound. Well done! G M 9-8-03 |
