B&W DM601 S3's 6.5" mid, dome tweet. got the ones in the black ash wood. demoed the klipsch, paradigms, and 2 sets of B&W's (in my price range) at my nearest shop yesterday, and i was REALLY impressed with the detail, midbass, midrange, as well as the highs. AMAZING little bookshelfs. running them off of an older Yamaha RX-V1070, aided with a 12" assassin for gained authority under 60 hz.

picked em up for $450 at my local shop

also, picked up a set of Grado open air SR125's headphones for $150. going in, i was kind of specticle, like how good can headphones sound? since im used to crappy phones, i didnt really expect much. gave him my budget (200), and he hands he this set. plug it into a Grado headphone amp, and i was BLOWN away. they sounded like high end speakers, in my ear. long story short, came back the next day (today) and bought em. been listening to pink floyd all day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

anyways, the shop i got it from is "speaker shop" and they are VERY reasonable, and i recomend it to anyone in the buffalo area

onto the pics,

pics are somewhat grainy, but deal with it

ill take some of the back of the cabinets, and some pics of with the covers on in a couple minutes. anyways, post up your B&W's (or any speakers you like) and enjoy

BTW these Grados deliver SICK bass, very comfortable, and a non fatiguing souond- i recomend them to anyone, even if its out of your budget

im going to make a pocket headphone amp once i learn a little bit more about them too, btw

 
now move back further a bit, and take a "whole setup" pic so we can see it all together lawl

Nice stuff. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
thank you:)

you want to get those speakers off the shelf, and onto some nice spikes, it will enhance the midbass a lot.
i will be doing that after i upgrade the wire
