To answer your questions

1. Yes, there are some people who have them in their systems.  But, we see very little talk on the forum about them.

2. I believe Steve said that they are in stock.. So, there should not have much wait time.

3.  I do not have a pair but have heard them at Decfest and they look excellent and sound the same.

They may only be a half a dog high and a dog and a half long but they sure can fly !

Mr. ddaarr, if you are asking me, I would say that in my situation that I would like to add something like the Rel Tx-5. If you had these on nice stands in the middle of your room you may feel differently. But before mine were run in sufficiently they were on top of my Forte IV’s (out in the middle of the room) & they weren’t cutting the mustard. But my desire to use these speakers had a lot to do with size & placement requirements. Depending on room size the Zu DW6 (for example) is going to energize more of the total spectrum of sound for about the same price. But I like cone area. I know how people talk about superior soundstaging with narrower front baffles (I have KEF’s) but I like how a bigger speaker gets more air moving with less drama. Holy smokes, your results may differ. But interestingly the wife was helping me in the basement when some more Infected Mushroom came on. “Bliss on Mushrooms” I believe. Well instead of “this sounds like noise to
me” like before, I hear her singing “oh wee oh” like one of the wicked witch’s guards. So maybe the difference was mood, the particular IF tune or was it the T6’s singing their sweet siren song. Again, holy cow what a hoot.
Anywho, wadda ya think about that, I’m sleeping down at the laundrymat.
Got no clothes to clean, to put inside the machine.

Hey maddog07,

You will find more T6 responses in the category "A newbie's questions..

It looks and sounds very good.

Yes, these guys sure know what they are talking about and have helped me a lot.
I'm seriously thinking of getting either the T6 or the Trapeziums. May have to hunt someone down to listen to them en person.

If you’re going for a fleawatt amp + single driver speakers, prepare for astonishing realism with vocals at the expense of bass impact and general fullness of sound.

vocals, solo or a couple instruments sound phenomenal. that means acoustic, renaissance, classical baroque, jazz trio, etc will be rendered beautifully. forget about pop and rock….not very impressive. So you will be limited in music genres.

that is my personal experience.

I swapped from Trapeziums to T6 for nearfield listening on a desk. Both are excellent speakers and I'm very happy with the sound I'm getting.  My use case (speakers 3 feet from my ears) is likely different from most folks, but happy to answer any questions!

Hi everyone,

First time posting here, after lurking for about a year.  - I have always loved listening to music and enjoyed auditioning, building, and tweaking my sound system within my budget and space constraints, and thanks to my friend and neighbor Tony (also here on the forum), I discovered what tube amps and a well-treated listening space can bring, and I am hooked.

I bought a James Burgess custom SET amp from his co-builder, and I love it. The amp can switch between 300B and 2A3-40 tube "modes" by switching the filament supply - pretty cool, and like having two amps in one.  I'm just about to experiment with upgrading my rectifier and output tubes based on the builder's recommendations.

When I got the amp, I decided that more sensitive speakers would be a good idea, and after reading the feedback here on the site about the T6 bookshelf speakers, I ordered a pair and am very happy with them, even more so now that I have added a KEF KC62 sub.

As I fall deeper and deeper into the audiophile hole, I am embarking on a self-education program, starting with a better understanding of some of the sound measurement technicalities, which brings me to my questions (at long last!).

After reading articles and watching videos on youtube (i.e. erinsaudiocorner and amirm from ASR), I decided I would test my comprehension by looking at the graphs provided on this site for the T6 speakers, and see how well I can interpret them.  (I can't post a link, but they are on the T6 product page.)

The first graph, frequency response, seems pretty clear, but I have a few questions:
1. Does the fact that 15 and 30 degree measurements are given make this this a "listening window" measurement?  
2. (related) can I assume that the 15 and 30 degrees are horizontal relative to the listening axis, not vertical?
3. All 3 lines (1,15,30) track each other closely up to about 1k Hz, then they diverge, increasingly, up to the "brilliance range.  Can I interpret this to mean that speaker positioning relative to my listening spot is going to have a greater impact at the frequencies higher than 1k Hz than before they start to diverge?
4. The note says measurements were take at 12" from the speaker at a "healthy" SPL - is there any way to see from the graph what the actual SPL was?  Does that correlate to volume?
5. I've seen FR graphs for other speakers where the curve of the lower frequency drop-off is very steep, compared to the T6. Does the T6's relatively shallow slope have any implication for the crossover level I should set on my sub (currently a bit below 60Hz)?

2nd chart - waterfall plot at high SPL.
1. I'm not sure how I ought to be reading this chart.  When I search waterfall charts and speakers, I see what look like charts from room measurements, and that seems like a different use case (although maybe the same kind of data?).  If anyone can point me to a good reference, I'd be grateful.
2. Since it looks like a 3-d topo map, I'm thinking in terms of terrain - where is the slope steep, and where is it shallow?  And the "ridge line" has some dips and rises, but it doesn't look like the Alps - what might all that mean?

3rd and 4th chart - RMS average response and TTL harmonic distortion vs response - no clue!  As above, if anyone can point me to a good reference for what these kinds of measurements mean for a speaker, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!
Ann

This guy is really good at explaining what all of the graphs mean.

He is a little annoying sometimes, he is right and everyone else is wrong, but his videos do explain what you are asking about.
