Speakers Worthy of Pass Amps?

Never heard of Ziricote before.

Man, that's some beautiful grain!
Yea I 1st saw it on a Les Paul I almost bought 15yrs ago and always loved it.

I couldnt tell from the pic if it was a small driver in mini monitor size box, Or large driver in massive box.

In his early days, he sold those drivers separately. No longer. I should have jumped....probably still should. Lots of good feedback.

Oh, how is bass?

Easily loud in a large room; great mids with light but clean bass (45hz) and bright top end. I had some custom stands built with a slight tilt (they resemble old JBL monitor stands) so ear level is slightly off axis. I can listen all day without ear fatigue.

I'm sure the room (depending on how close to the various walls) will increase the subjective bass a little. I have been thinking of trying some of the Audio Nirvana drivers in 10 inch size. They are available separately and are advertised to be of similar sensitivity.

Bass of the Audio Nirvana claims seems a little optimistic, but they do use a bit larger box. Always a compromise.

I hear ya. I'm going to eventually give these to my fiancé and build me something that is more suited for more full spectrum sound once we move. I really like these speakers though and enjoy listening to them

I've always wanted to try the NN Acoustics Xenia with my J2.

I remember them as being my favorite speakers at the Burning Amp held in Marin. They sounded incredible, were finished in Indian Palisander and they were beautiful!
