I need to go ahead and do a 2 channel... Hmmm...

I love the Wenge on those Digm's, brother... Looks tight.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

I am loving the 2 channel set up and don't really miss the sub like I thought I might.

I say do it!

No problem. I am glad you like them. IMO they are impossible to beat for the price. Wait until they are broken in and the midrange opens up, the bottom end fills out and the tweeters mellow out. The image is fucking stunning. Keep them toed out from the listening position just a couple degrees... maybe 10 at most, preferably 5 or so. The stage will become so realistic and the image so deep it will blow your mind.

Over the past 2 days I got about 4 hours of play time on them. As for the price I can not bitch! One hell of a deal!

When you say toed out, do you mean the angle inwhich they are faceing me when I sit in my chair?

Yes. Sitting in your chair, 0 degrees will be them facing dead at you. Toed out means that you want them pointing away from your ears just a tad. Toed out you will see the inside of the speakers, that is, the side facing the middle of the room. Toed in, you will see the outside of the speakers, that is, the side nearest the wall.

You will notice that when you point them out the image depth will get more shallow, but the stage width and presentation will become more broad. You don't want it too broad, as it crushes the image. When you start to toe in, you notice a deeper image, but a more narrow stage presentation. With straight in line speaker like the Digms, you have to be fairly precise in your aiming. With offset tweeters, you can play with the image depth by keeping the tweeters to the inside, and pointing the speakers a little wider. Or if you like a broad stage with less concern about image depth, you can put the tweets to the outside.

So with that in mind, play with the toe in and out a bit. Close your eyes and listen for the placement of musicians. You should be able to pick out the singer in the front and center, guitarists a bit further back, bassists even further back, and drums furthest from the front. But you should be able to isolate them. Listen to it and see what matters most to you. Most people like a broad stage, but if you really get into it, image depth becomes more important. You will know you have reached audiophile status when you are playing with your image depth

Ok tell me if I understand what you just said. Sitting in my chair with the speakers angled to that they are pointing to the same point is 0.

If that that is correct I will get my lasers and place them on the speakers center of course and make a scale to place where I sit for referance so that I know where my stage width is. It is almost like I am doing an alignment on a car.

Nice rear shot.

Neal, Good day, do they sound as good at home as they did in the show room ? If they dont , clap your hands .
If you hear a eco the eco is distortion (sound being added to the original sound).
It is amazing the amount of good speakers in shitty envioments . they sound shitty too .
A bit of acoustic deadening makes one hell of a differance . and it doesnt cost much .
If you would like advise on acoustics just ask , we would be glad to help .....................Alan. Monro .
Ps great speakers!

[nem]

Thanks Alan.

Hope to get a couple of hours of play time tomorrow. I also am planning on playing with the image depth.

[nem]

Easy listening this morning






No need to ask, yes I am

[nem]

Although you can't see it in the pictures, the digms are angled so that they are hitting me in the at about shoulder width and I really like it for now.

[Aaron Clinton]

Wish I could join you, but I need to keep my clearance.

[nem]

The digms are starting to loosen up and the sound continues to amaze me.

Just finished watching Buffett live from the gulf coast and the digms sounded awesome!! What a great way to raise some money for the clean up!

Thank you. This is the first 2 channel I have done and love it!

[nem]

Listening to the Top Gun soundtrack and loving it.

Might I add that I have no desire to add a sub yet, the digms sound sooo detailed and rich!!
