Review once I get some free time :face_with_tongue: .

For now am trying to keep it as clean as possible, after all the pain it caused me to clean it.

Thanks, It was the most imp furniture of my room, so I wanted it to be big lol.

From what I read, the difference between the 9.1s and 9.2s was 5" woofer vs 6.5" woofer on 9.2, rest was all the same. I did enough research before buying this, and it was said that there was no other difference between the SQ, just the bass on 9.2 was heavy. There were some reviewers recommending the 9.1s over 9.2s since there wasn’t much noticeable difference. 9.4 are when you really up the level in terms of SQ and Power. I found the bass on 9.1 to be more then enough, its plenty, its tight and fast (ex Z5500 user). I dont need a dedicated sub, although I have hooked one to my PC right now which I only use when gaming.

Here you go

I used a Stereo > RCA converter > RCA to RCA on the back of the Norge.

Connected the Sansa Clip the same way, so can use FM.

niceeee …

willing to let the z5500 go ? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Nice! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Now get yourself a proper DAC :face_with_tongue:

congrats ANP. now pass me that z5500. :face_with_tongue:

congo dude… from where did u buy these speakers???

Finally! it took a long time for you to post this. Waiting for a review.

Million dollar question,



How many days/hrs more is the table gonna stay so clean!!

Hey Congrats ! Sorry I could not be of any help in recommending a shop to get these from. :frowning:

Awesome pictures there !

congrats for the purchase.. :slight_smile:

and awesome setup..

Wao… what a fantastic setup!! Loved the speakers and amps. CONGRATS!!

Btw, can you please tell me how you did that ambient lighting setup behind the monitor? It looks really nice and soothing. :slight_smile:

^CCFLs!

Congrats Abhi! Btw you can drop in this weekend - shall be getting the portable drive having the stuff soon. :face_with_tongue:

Awesome snap and setup :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: . I want to hear it ! :frowning:

cool setup enjoy audio nirvana…

Hehe nice. Awesome pics too :face_with_tongue: . BTW get some rubber feet/metal cones for putting under the speakers. Makes a big difference to bass - you’ll lose a wee bit of heft but it’ll become a lot more resolving in the bottom octaves.

Someone asked 9.2 vs 9.1 - Had auditioned both for a friend and I prefer the 9.1. Its much more dynamic and musical.

@Those all who wanna buy my Z5500: Sorry, I gave it to my dad, to be used in his HT room. :face_with_tongue:

Yes, that’s the next thing I will buy in my computer upgrades, first I need to move back to upgrading my camera gears (ND grad filters and flash), then move back to computers again, hopefully within 2 months I will pick up a decent USB DAC.

Thanks for all the help in my thread, Yes was lazy to click some pictures. :slight_smile:

No problem :), I already knew where I wanted to get them from, Thanks to Amey.

I have 2 pairs of Blue CCFL and one Red CCFL behind the LCD stuck with 3M double sided tape, and hooked up to a dedicated PSU that runs the CCFLs along with 2x 80mm fans behind the amp heatsinks (just in case it gets really HOT in summers), right now these get plenty hot to burn your fingers when played for long hours.

I cleaned up the mess behind the LCD a lot, before this it was crazy with 9 CCFLs behind the LCD and it looked something like this

Thanks for the tip Chaos, will try that out, gotta get some quality wires too.

Sure thing ;). I will be in Mumbai from 29th to 31st, will try to come 31st night. And we should plan a meet out soon, your b’day is coming :face_with_tongue: .
